hello
I'm 18 and Yasmin WAS my first BCP ever. It's not anymore...I took the first 3 weeks of the yellow active pills and started my mom and boyfriend started to notice a change in me. I all of sudden have panic/anxiety attacks about a volcanoe, fatigue, upset stomach, numbness in my arms, sick, vomiting, I don't want to be alone, I get nervous when it get's dark. I rock back and forth, I just stare at one spot, I all of a sudden don't want to take care of my baby. I would give her to my mom a lot. I thought I was going crazy until my mom found this page for me a few days ago. Since then I stopped taking Yasmin. My symptoms are starting to lessen. Saturday will be a week since I have taken a yellow pill. My Panic attacks have lessened but are not yet gone. My other symptoms are still here and probably will be for about 2 weeks (I've read that on other womens stories). I can't stand the panic attacks..I do not like volcanoes they do scare me, when I saw this show a few weeks ago about a volcanoe under Yellowstone National Park I started to get nervous about it, until eventually I had panic attacks about it...I don't get why though....then I find this page and it all makes sense. See I knew the volcanoe was there, but I never freaked out like this until I got the Yasmin in my body and system, since then all hell broke loose!!
If anyone knows a way and wants to get the word out about Yasmin let me know, I will gladly help. It's not a fun pill and I hate to think that there are women who are being prescibed it. I'm afraid my GYN is going to say that it's not the pill when it is. Your stories help support me and get me through this. I know it will all soon be over...that's all I can say to all of those who are going through it as well...it will all be over soon.
