Hello! I have been on Yasmin since I was 18 years old (I just turned 22), but in the last 6 months I started getting panic attacks. I have always been very self confident and have never had problems with anxiety ever. I never thought to check into my bc pills because I have been taking them for some time and have never had a problem. But now that I look back I did stop and start them again 5-6 months before the symptoms started. So Im not sure if this would be from that, but Im desparate to find some type of solution.

hi wastical, it is very likely that yasmin has caused your panic attacks,it certainly caused mine..the fact that you stopped taking it then started taking it again may be what triggered it,that seems to happen to alot of women...there is a strong link between artificial hormones and panic attacks...it is possible that you are suffering from a form of adrenal fatigue,if you google it you will find lots of helpful advice on diet/lifestyle changes that will help or you could google yasminsurvivors and you will find another very good site with lots of help and advice on how to recover from this pill and the nightmare it causes.
best of luck,please don't dispair,i know how you are feeling right now and it WILL get better once you stop taking yasmin.
