Yasmin Withdrawal?

I stopped taking Yasmin last month after several months b/c I felt it really made me anxious/depressed. I was not "myself" - so to speak. I decided to give my body a break (I was on ortho-tricyclen for about 6 months before switching to Yasmin) and now I'm not taking the pill.

I'm feeling better emotionally but noticing other things. First, the weight gain -- which I anticipated b/c Yasmin had really helped me w/water weight, etc. Also, I recently had my first period since stopping and I had a full week's worth of headaches. I've also noticed I'm losing a lot of hair when brushing it, in the shower, etc.

Anyone else experience these things when they stopped their BCP?

You can have all kinds of things happen when you stop the pill, kind of like when you start it.
