Thousand times a day symptoms and conditions

okay i am not usually one to post on the internet but I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO FIND A WEBSITE BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!!!! :-) I seriously think Yasmin is the worst thing that ever happened to me...but I just put it all together right now! Thank you everyone for posting! Let me start out by saying i am NORMAL haha! I am a full time college student, athlete, employee, active family member, and I have always been the happiest, most light hearted person of all time! I have always loved every moment of my life...and was always easily able to cope with and learn from the tough times....UNTIL THE PAST SIXTH MONTHS!!!! i have been on yasmin for about a year and a half and starting about six months ago i have: A) dropped 17 pounds (despite eating everything in sight) and my parents/friends/boyfriend are freaking out with worry and i want to cry because i eat SO much! B) have these weird panic attacks like all my clothes (sweatpants, tshirts too!) feel tight and like they are choking me. I also think I have cancer like a thousand times a day (even though I am perfectly healthy...believe me i have been to every doctor (including my psychologist) in the last six months to check these new symptoms out). I am paranoid about stupid things, like if I will get in a car accident even if I am just driving a few blocks C) my heart beats very quickly, double beats, etc even when i am just resting....not working out, walking up the stairs, rushing around etc D) I can barely sleep at all, and even if i sleep for 12 hours i wake up exhausted E) I snap at all my friends F) Although I have been an athlete my entire life, my workouts and performance have been decreasing consistently. G) My glands are swollen often (yes I got an HIV test....and it was negative) and finally I) I freak out and cry about everything my boyfriend does...and he is the greatest guy in the world! So nice! Our relationship has always been great and he is super supportive! But in these last few months I cry and scream and get frustrated/angry/annoyed with him (and everyone) at the drop of a hat.BUT somehow I feel no emotion 99% of the day then when I am with him I become so awful! How is that possible? I HAVE BEEN SO SAD! and he keeps asking me what is wrong and doubting HIMSELF....omg i cant believe this Yasmin sight...i just showed it to him and it is like a huge weight has been lifted off both our shoulders! I am not a doctor and this IS just a blog I suppose....however I plan on talking to my GYN about this as soon as possible! These symptoms seem to match up with the other posts way too much to be just a coincidence......THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

to guest:

Sorry, but I'm VERY ANGRY about such an understatement, that you did in your post here!!!! And I think many of the other women, who were or are still going through the same TORTURE (AND I MEAN T O R T U R E!!!!") as me know what I mean!!!

It's definitely not right that we only "have been FRUSTRATED" about these side effects. If you had read more of the posts below you should know, that this pill was about to ruine some of the womens (including mine!!!) LIFES!!!!!!!!!! And I'm not exaggerating AT ALL!!!!!!!! Several times I was pulled near to suicide because of all the symptoms that were happening to me over 7 MONTHS and longer and every day I got weaker and weaker and thought I would never get through this any longer!!!!!!!!!

You should'nt talk that way about things, you did (and you should thank god for that a thousand times a day!!!) NOT experience.

I have been doing fine with Yasmin for nearly 4 years, too and then everything happend nearly "AT ONCE" and overnights at about 5 years after starting it!!!

Sorry, but I'm nearly exploding about such posts. Perhaps you should think twice before talking that way in the future. It really hurts someone like me (and I'm not healthy, yet AT ALL and had thousands of tests done without any result or help!!!) to hear after this REAL TORTURE that I obviousely in your mind just had been "FRUSTRATED" about that pill!!!

All the best wishes go out to every woman who still has to fight against side effects and especially the withdrawal effects caused by this "wonder drug".

I hope and believe (and pray !!) that we will be feeling better soon!!!
