i am so glad to have found this site. i was on yasmin for only 4 months and started having a series of health problems. everything from extreme dizziness to headaches to frequent yeast infections. i thought something was seriously wrong and never attributed it to my pill. i had extensive tests done, but found nothing.
then, i found a website where some people had talked about their side effects on yasmin, so i got scared and decided to get off of it. now, it's my 3rd week off of it, and i have been a wreck! i am extremely irritable and emotional. some days i just get overwhelmed for no reason and start crying. my headaches have been more frequent, and i just don't feel myself overall. i was thinking of going on an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety pill, but hate to put that in my body if it's not necessary. it was encouraging to read that other people have had similar withdrawal symptoms and that it does get better. one of the things that blew me away were the few people talking about anxiety and fear with their boyfriends. mine has been so sweet and patient, but i have been extremely sensitive and always having this fear that he doesn't love me anymore...just weird, unexplained emotions. this isn't me. i can't wait to be myself again. thank you for all of your comments and support.
