hi everyone. i too have some trouble during ovulation/mesnstruation with nervousness,shaking,fear etc. and my agoraphobia flares up. i have been taking the following for the last month and have felt sooom uch better. magnesium 400mg,calcium 800mg, vitamin b complex tablet and an additional dose of b6 of 50mg along with a multivitamin. apparently birth control pills can cause a depletion of the b6 vitamin which causes many of the symptoms experienced by some yasmin users like,anxiety,panic attacks,dizzyness,brain fog,muscle cramps,sickness,bowel problems etc. also magnesium and calcium become depleted,these minerals are essential for a healthy body and mind. b6 is directly involved in converting tryptophan into serotonin so it stands to reason that if you are deficient in this vitamin then you are going to experience problems both physically and mentally,it is worse around the time of ovulation/menstruation as the natural hormone shift can take up more of your b6 reserves. try improving your diet and taking supplements for a while and see if it helps,it won't hurt you to try. i totally sympathise with the hell that is caused by the panic attacks,anxiety,chest pains,aching muscles,headaches and all the other horrible side effects that a lot of use have suffered whilst on yasmin, but have faith that your body is an amazing thing,if you give it the tools it will heal itself,eat well,sleep well and take supplements for a while and i am sure that we will all be able to put this nightmare behind us and live the lives we want!
