Hi I am a 22 year old who started taking yasmine in march 2007 by the end of my 3rd month i began to realize that i was having savere side affects to my BC thanks to my mother! I was having really bad migraines in the first months but they went away, having forgot they were giving me migraines i continued to take it since they went away. My last week of the white pills in the 3rd month i had 3 random panic attacks for no reason. I went to see my Dr who prescirbed me zoloft. I have not been known to be anxious or depressed before. from sun to thurs i was on zoloft and a nervous wreck. I was anxious, emotional, depressed, and having horrible thoughts. I discontinued the zoloft but started my next pack of BC and was still having an emotional crisis. I then spoke to a pharmacist who said to go off and if i feel better within a week my feelings could be attributed to the BC. It has now been since saturday that i took my last pill. It has definetely been a roller coaster but i do think i am getting better! The thoughts are much less, i am able to experience joy, but i do get a little anxious at time. I think the anxiousness is from going through such a traumatic experience. I haven't spoken to an OBGYN about my problem because im afraid they will just say its just me, and BC couldnt have these affects! I think We woman know our bodies and im just looking forward to feeling 100% better althought i think it may take some time. I would love to talk to someone else about there expeirences if you would like to contact me my e-mail is ******* Thanks for sharing your stories and hopefully mine will be of some help to you.. oh yeah and i dont want sex, i dont know which side affect is worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell your GYN asap. It doesn't matter if your reaction is unique, YOU know what was happening to your body. Don't let anyone make you think you are making up your problems. If this doctor doesn't help, may I suggest find a new one that will listen to your complaints...

Good LUCK

I had the most insane panic attacks out of nowhere the 3rd or 4th month that I was taking the pill... To the point I nearly blacked out in the subway. It was horrifying.
