Blood screening symptoms and conditions

Thank You all so much

I am such a mess right now!
Two months into the pill i had an extreme anxiety attack out of no where but it wasn't an attack like being panicky about a specific thing. It just came as trembling then beating heart then the next thing i was going crazy in my mind. I was petrified of lying in my own bed i was going CRAZY. i was hysterical for 2 weeks non stop shaking, crying, panicky about nothing it was completely out of my control. The things that were happening to me i actually believed i had SCHIZOPHRENIA< PERSONALITY DISORDER OR SOME TYPE OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE.

I had no idea what was going on and without looking into anything a doctor prescribed me anti depressants - biggest mistake. Thankfully i stopped the pill the day i started the effexor(AD). The entire of December and JAn was a ride off. i experienced every emotion in the world

- constant guilty
- depression
- felt like someone close to me had died and i was grieving
-empathy
- anger
-fear

Unfortunately i never got better from stopping the pill because the anti depressants were giving me sever side effects due to me not needing them in the first place. They gave me a different anxiety as well as phsychotic episodes. I know this sounds actually crazy but some days i would think so deep i convinced myself i didn't exist that reality wasn't real. Another day i was convinced i was dangerous and that sooner or later i would kill someone. Apparently this was a side effect of the effexor ( i hope) i went off the effexor cold turkey its been one week and i feel gross/anxious/nervous/headaches etc etc

im giving myself a month to detox everything and am hoping i return to my normal self.

On good days i was convinced that i simply had really bad side effects to the pill and then had really bad side effects to another pill that was treating the first side effects.

Other days i think that my doctors are right and that my blood tests are normal so therefore i am a hypercondriac. "Ive never heard of the pill having such side effects". Oh also ive been seeing a psychologist for the past month. Its like seeing a therapist for bad PMS. There is no cause its just hormonal!

This is the most frustrating thing of my life because as much as i want to believe its the pill what if its not and this is the start to something much much major.

seriously if anyone has a similar story please pm me or something :)

I know everyone is different but how long did people take to get back on track after stopping? will it stop or is this something that will be with me?

I know birth control pills affect everyone differently, this is what happened to me. I started taking Yaz in January after being on Yasmin for 6 years (I had severe abdominal pain on Ortho Tricyclin and Yasmin gave me immediate relief. I had PMDD the last 6 months I took Yasmin and asked to switch to Yaz after seeing commercials on it, other than that I had no problems being on Yasmin for 5 1/2 years). The second month of Yaz, my PMDD went away, I felt normal and loved being on Yaz. I haven't had any weight gain, have mild cramping about a week before my period starts and my period is about 4-5 days and I hardly get bloated but I get a severe headache the day my period starts. The last 3-4 months, I've noticed I've had no energy but still try to exercise, I feel so tired no matter how much sleep I get, at times I don't feel very alert and have to focus hard when driving, have bouts with feeling depressed, and occasional constipation. I didn't have any vaginal dryness but often felt like I didn't have the energy to have sex. I had a blood screening last month which came back normal, this month I noticed my hair seems thinner. I suspected Yaz was the problem then I knew for sure after I found this website. My OB/GYN called in a new prescription for Yasmin today, I'm hoping that will help again - at least until I see him in a couple months, and that the PMDD symptoms do not return.
