Hi chris symptoms and conditions

Hi Chris

I just wanted to let you know that someone cares how you are feeling. Believe me, I do. I was on Yasmin for close to 2 years when all hell broke loose for me - anxiety and panic attacks, heart palpitations, muscle weakness ..... the list goes on and on! I thought I was going crazy ..... I was so down and thought that I would never get my life back. It has been 10 months now off of Yasmin and I am so much better. I am 38 years old so I chose not to get back on any kind of pills. I truly believe that Yasmin should not be prescribed so PLEASE, if you can... try not to get back on Yasmin. Good luck to you and know that someone shares your pain. As you can see, I still come to this website to read all of the post (10 months later). Take care of yourself!

Hi Chris!!

Don't worry!! I just can beg you, to read through all of the posts here in this forum!! It helps so much, I swear!! This was the only thing that helped me go through this torture the past year!! I even don't know if I still would be alive if I hadn't found this forum and all those women, suffering the same way as me and telling me, that I WILL get better some day!!

And one more thing: It's really normal, that after 3 months not everything brought on by Yasmin is back to normal!! I've been off this stuff for 8 months now and am still not back to normal, as though many many symptoms have gone away or lessened! I even don't get my period normally, the last one I had was on easter this year!! You should know, that everything in connection with hormones can (I don't say MUST but it CAN!) take a VERY long time to recover!! And that is what my doctor says and not only my opinion!!

So please be patient and don't worry, I swear you will get better some day, and if not tomorrow than in a few weeks or months! And you won't die of the symptoms you're still having, because you have been checked at the hospital and everything (well, FOR THEM!!) was "normal". So be sure that there's no heart damage or something else wrong in your body you would have to worry about, but only those (sometimes really unbearable!!) "Off-Yasmin-Symptoms".

And PLEASE read through all of the posts here, there are so many women telling their stories and especially how LONG it took many of them, including me, to feel fine again!!

A big hug to you and every woman out there still in Yasmin recovery!! God bless you!!
