I am newly dg with pcos (4/03) and started on Yasmin in May. I have battled depression for years and have been on Paxil for quite a while now and was doing really well. Since I started on the Yasmin my moods have been rather irritable and now this week I am back to feeling depressed. This week is my reminder pill week. Is the depression / mood swings due to the hormones in the pills or the lack of them when on the reminder pills? Will it subside or do I need to up my paxil to counter act the hormones. I'm getting more and more confused with all this. I can't stand feeling like this and I refuse to go back to my totally depressed days. Thanx for any info.

Are your moods/depression worse during the reminder time or during the active hormone time, or all the time? You are right, you do not deserve or have to deal with depression. Hang in there and don't let yourself get too down before you seek help. It sounds like you do need an increase of your paxil, or maybe a different med. Maybe a differenct BCP as not everyone gets along well with Yasmin. I would definitely visit with the Dr. and get some answers. Until then, Big Hugs, and peaceful days. Lendi
