Sharp objects symptoms and conditions

I am tearful as I am reading the other women's experience with Yasmin. I took Yasmin for 3 months because of very difficult periods (severe cramping and back pain). During this time I became increasing numb, void of emotions, and experienced severe panic about knives and sharp objects, lost six pounds and no sex drive at all. I stopped the medication and I am starting to feel better. I though I was going crazy and I was afraid to be around my son or to be alone. Now, I know that it was attributed to this medication and biochemical changes occuring. I am so glad to be medication free...this medication is really scary! I am so glad to know that I am okay and my mind is getting back to normal. I would rather have a few days of PMS every month over the craziness of Yasmin.

Yasmin made me psychotic and depressed. It was crazy and it's hard to describe how bad it was. I've never felt that way before. I know what it's like to be sad, I've been really sad when someone I loved died, but that's not what this was like. Being on Yasmin was scary. On Yasmin, I was evil. I was afraid to use knives or sharp objects. I never before understood how people could cut themselves-- on Yasmin I wanted to. I wanted to hurt myself and others. I couldn't feel empathy or sympathy. I felt like all joy and light was gone from my life. I was on it for a month and a half and I stopped taking it cold turkey in the middle of a pack because I was afraid of what I was turning into. After a couple weeks I was myself again. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DRUG. Please don' t take it. Maybe some women can tolerate it, but why take the chance?
