Hi Everyone, I am a fourth year medical student and recently I ...

I just stumbled across this site after a typo in my google search about anxiety stuff and given that mine started on Yasmin 3 years ago i thought interesting and il have a read of that and i am blown away!!!!!!! Id had been on Yasmin successfully (or so i thought) for months and then just one day for no obvious reason just lost it, i didnt wake up properly that day and felt weird and broke down crying for no reason, than my heart went crazy, it was beating out of my chest, i didnt know what was happening but i felt bloody scared. I went to the doctor saying i though i was getting anxiety, maybe from the pill but given that id been on it ok for a while i wasnt sure. I just got shrug'd off and told 'us females do funny things sometime' RIGHTO whatever that means!!! I stopped taking Yasmin but i still wasnt right, anxiety and panic and crying and moody thro the roof, i had to quit my college coz i just couldnt manage to go there anymore as it was where it first hit, i had no idea what was going on but knew i was losing it. I was still fine to go to work down just around the corner from college but had some odd thoughts and behaviour, like i couldnt park on the ground level anymore, and it had always been my fav place to park. A few months later a stressful time hit and that was it, ive never been the same since suffereing varies severities of anxiety panic agoraphobia random phobias paranoia and ocd stuff. That period when it all started and for the months that followed stopping were undoubtedly the worst weeks of my life and ive never trusted myself or my body since. Its such a relief to think that I wasnt mad to think it was the Yasmin and that if it was its something i can fix up. The people who make this and market and prescribe it as safe should really be accountable for this. How dare they **** up our lives and hormones and emotions and leave us to pick up the pieces
