Hi everyone!
I took my last Yasmin pill on Friday because on Saturday I got the worst migraine in my life... I was super sensitive to light, smell, and noise and hated everyone and everything. I never used to get migraines before so finally, convinced that it was the pills, I stopped taking them. I have been feeling very anxious all day long after my first Yasmin-free night and I googled the side effects to try and convince myself I'm not crazy when I found this site. Thanks to everyone who's been posting here, I already feel better about my decision to stop them. Has anyone found a replacement that works well for them? I think I will go pill-free for at least a month and see how I feel first.
My side effects include waking up in cold sweat with severe panic attacks, increased heart beat (that scares the hell out of me), chest pain and pressure, fatigue, nausea, unbearable migraines, depression, yelling and crying for no reason (I never yell!), and what not... I had only been taking them for four months... any idea how long it will take for the symptoms to go away? I read over and over that the first three months are the worst, is it still that bad if I haven't been taking them for long?
Thanks again everyone,
B.S.
