Well I thought I was crazy too! I have been taking Yasmin for 5 years now and I have been experiencing so many different side effects I thought it was just me getting older and my body was changing. I have noticed everything from major anxiety attacks, fatigue, depression, snapping uncontrollably and being on edge (I am not that kind of person) , skin dryness, discoloration after being in the sun, hair loss, ringing in my ears, I even went to the ear doctor because my husband thought I was going deaf. Also I have experienced such a bad experience with urinary tract infections as well as yiest infections which I feel is due to the Yasmin as well. I never had any of these ailments before taking this pill. About a month and a half ago I decided to cleanse my body of the pill wondering if this could be affecting me and I didn't realize how much it was until I started taking it again one month later within two days I noticed it unbelievably I felt so edgy and started snapping again immediatley. I notified my obgyn and told her what I thought she recommended taking B-6, I tried it and it didn't make a difference so I asked to switch to the YAZ which claims to help with moodiness, fatigue etc...after being on it for one month I think the effects are actually worse. I have decided to quit taking the pill all together. I can't believe people can be feeding this stuff to humans with all these side effects. I am so glad to have found this web site. Now I know I am not crazy!!! Best of luck to everyone.

Im 16 and have been on Loestrin24 for almost 3 months... at first it was fine but sometimes i would have these weird anxiety/panic attacks where i would cry for no reason on and off for usually only a day; well at this point I feel like I have been having an anxiety attack for 2 weeks straight more or less. this is the first bc ive ever tried and I keep waiting for my body to adjust but it is just getting worse and worse. I have no appetite now and i pretty much feel bad all the time also my hair is falling out a lot more and my legs are cramping a lot i wonder if that may be blood clots but i don't know... i think im going to try a new pill soon because this one is making me crazy! does anyone recommend another pill?
