hi abs528. i also had terrible panic attacks and constant anxiety as well as really scary thoughts and dreams, i thought i was crazy too (still might be have only been off yasmin for 9 days!) i'm not sure how long it takes for the panic attacks to go away, i think now you have had them you will have to learn a good technique to difuse them, i have to keep telling myself that they will not harm me even though they feel awful,try to distract your mind,i sing songs or count really quickly and the best but hardest piece of advice is to not be scared of them,if you are not scared then you will not react the way you do and the panic attacks will gradually go away. I promise you i know how it feels,i felt like i had gone insane,i took yasmin for 1.5 years and thought it was great but then after 6 months things started to get bad,i was diagnosed with panic disorder and given diazepam but that made me worse, i decided to face it head on and it has been working but it is hard and i have good and bad days,hopefully now i have stopped the yasmin it will ease up a bit,please post your progress on this site whether it be good or bad as it may help another poor soul who is going through the same thing. in the mean time get yourself some magnesium as a definciency in this mineral came make your symptoms worse also drink as much water as you can to detox your system. you should get your period in a few days and hopefully you will start to feel better. best wishes to you...and remember you are NOT crazy!
