yasmine & depression

Been dealing with a lot of depression, I'm not so sure if it's due to what Red & I have been going thru or if it's due to yasmine. Anyone else on Yasmine struggling?

I TOOK YASMINE FOR A WHILE, I HAD MORE DEPRESSION SYMTOMS THEN NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. THERE MIGHT BE A LINK.
THANKS FOR POSTING.

I don't doubt the Yasmin could have something to do with it. I have felt tremendously better since coming off of it. Are you taking an Omega-3 supplement?? A lot of us are deficient in this and it has been shown to help with mood (as well as prevent heart disease). I take it in the form on cod-liver oil supplements but you can also take it as Flaxseed oil. Are you taking anything for your depression? I know that in my family I am called Ms. Sunshine because I am always happy but there was a period of time there (about 2 years) where I wasn't smiling at all. {{{HUGS}}

Saw my ob/gyn talked to her about how I've been feeling for the last few months. She thinks it's depression and put me on effexor I go back in a month. She says there's not proven connection between Yasmine and depression as of yet and that from our discussion it seemed like it's the real thing.
