Hello,
I'm 18 and Yasmin was my first birth control ever. I took the first 3 weeks of the yellow active pills, and started having all these symptoms that I have never had before: panic/ anxiety attacks about a volcanoe erupting, fatigue, sick, upset stomach, vomiting, numbness in my arms, I don't like to be alone, I panic when it starts to get dark, I have a month and a half old baby that I sometimes just don't want to take care of so I give her to my mom. I have never been this way before. My mom and boyfriend noticed a change in me so my mom got online and found this web page for me. I'm so glad she did because I thought I was going crazy for a while. I was on my 3 white pill when I quit taking it. Saturday will be a week since I have put anymore actual hormones in my body. I am scared to death of any other bcp and I really don't want to talk to my doctor about it because I know he will just say that it's not the pill...but it is!!! After reading other womens stories I feel much better. I'm not the only one. I've started to feel a little better lately, just today my panic/anxiety attacks have not been so severe. For a while I wanted to cry when I got them, I just wanted to die. I would stand and be rocking back and forth, I would just stare at one spot. Please keep posting your stories. It's what really gives me support and gets me through this.
If anyone knows a way to get this pill off the market let me know...I will help. I really hate to think that other women may have this happen to them. I believe it's the drsp hormone that does this to me...it's awful!!
