That's not weird at all!! In my case everything began about 4 years bein' on Yasmin with, well, which I thought - no problems... And there are many more women who were hit by those symptoms at once after a long time being on Yasmin with nearly no problems!!
I just agree with Chrissy!! Stay off that sh... and read on the posts that are written here everyday, write by yourself, if you need any help or pep talk and try to calm down!! It may take some time (and let it be months....) but everything will be fine again without Yasmin!!!
I was on bcp for long 10 years, too. 5 years on another bcp without any problems and the last 5 years on Yasmin with becoming less and less fit and energetic!! Just like you were telling in your post I turned from a very healthy fit and slim person to a totally wrecked, tired, breathless and anxious fat woman... Well, not to forget, I'm not 80, but 30 years old...
So stay strong and believe in what your body is telling you. Don't let the doctor's tell you, that all is just in your head because it definitely isn't!!! And it really maybe, that our bodies after a long time on bcp needs a time without any chemical hormones. In my case it will be forever because after my very bad and life threatening experiences with Yasmin I'm never goin' to take any hormonal bcp ever again in my life!!!
All the best to you!!
