Anne,
I have been researching Yasmin, and am getting my courage up to as my gyn to try it. I am rather modivated at the moment, because I have had a lingering headache since my two day trial of Loestrin. As I mentioned, due to severe anxeity and "paranoia" I have switched back to micronor.
Since I have this headache, which I imagine is from the norethindrone, I was thinking of ditching bc pills all together. But, my pdoc doesn't want me to go off the (mini) pill though. She thinks it's stabilizing. But it does seem to cause some depression and headaches (a new problem) and at times, heavy continous bleeding.

Do you think I can take Yasmin while taking Lithium? I am worried about the diuretic effect. Also do you think I could take Yasmin continously so I don't have that massive hormonal withdrawal every 3 weeks? My gyn prescribed Loestrin to be taken all month long and no withdrawal phase.

You mentioned you got very sad on Yasmin. This worries me! Do you think it was withdrawal, or were you still taking active pills? And lastly, you did NOT feel anxiety on yasmin? I wonder why that is. I felt anxiety almost instantly on the Loestrin. I just assumed it was from the estrogen...
What a puzzle this is. I hope I haven't overwhelmed you with questions. There is so little about mood and yasmin on the web. Yasmin is just so new.

I hope you have increased your effexor and are feeling a bit better.
Chloe
