I kind of feel stupid for not recognizing Yasmin being the problem sooner. I contributed my panic attacks, anxiety and depression to the birth of my daughter in 2004. I was put on Yasmin Summer of 2005. I switched from OrthoTriCyclen Lo because I thought the pill was making me bloated and crampy. I have recently found that I needed a colon cleansing pill that keeps my colon healthy. By Thanksgiving of 2005 I went to my Gyn for my yearly and mentioned my anxiety. He put me on Paxil. A month later I had gained 10 pounds and had to move up to size 12. I was weaned off of Paxil, absolutely miserable. I took Welbutrin, it made me worse. I tried to take nothing for a few months and could not even handle life. For the first time ever I did not want to get out of bed I had such horrible anxiety that I thought I was going crazy. By spring of 2006 I started going to a different doctor. She put me on Effexor, at first I felt great but then I started feeling bad again. I have upped my dose twice and I feel that at 300 mg of Effexor I feel like I should not be feeling anything but I am still depressed and having anxiety. Just yesterday I had a full blown panic attack while going on a dune ride with friends. Something that I normally would enjoy. In Oct. 2006 I was expressing my concern of weight gain to my friend and she mentioned that just maybe, if Yasmin could give me pregnancy breasts(size B cup to D cup) that maybe it is giving me other pregnancy symptoms. I decided to go off of Yasmin, it has almost been 3 months and I am hoping to see a change soon. My breasts have gone to a DD. I have gained another 14 pounds. I have had 1 period and now am 3 weeks late again. I have been bloated and irritable for 4 weeks now. My stomach is so bloated I look like I could be 3 months pregnant. I hope my symptoms have helped some of you, I know yours have helped me. I now feel like there is some hope. SassyPixie
