I started taking yasmin at the beginning of the month suggested by my doctor for very irregular periods. I am 16 and have been irregular for 5 years and wanted a change. I also have very bad cramps or nausea when I am PMSing. I've never had any experience with a gyno and I didn't know what each kind was so I took her word for it. The first week or so I was nauseous before bed when I took it every day. Then 3 weeks later right before I was to start the "white pill" section I almos passed out in school. I was blacking out and shaking with a rapid heart beat and very dizzy. I went to the ER and the doctor said I just had "vertigo" and all tests were normal. After reading this and thinking I now have the stomach flu I have realized that Yazmin is the reason for all of this. I am glad that I'm not going crazy here. The past few days I've stopped talking it but I still have extreme anxiety (possibly caused by upcoming stress in school- i'm extremely busy and all over the place), dizzyness, shaking, nausea, diarrhea, vometing, random shakeyness and headaches. I hope this helps other women that have the same symptoms and are wondering what is going on- I know I was like that until I found this website.

The same exact thing happened to me! As I previously posted "starlight" I went to the ER 3 times and they told me that I had Vertigo. I had an EKG, CAT scan on my head, blood drawn & etc.....all test were normal. I felt like I had the flu but could eat anything I wanted. I had been extremely weak and almost passed out at the store with my husband. I know its Yasmin because I have never experience this before until now. Im going back to the ring. I hope you feel better:)

OMG!! That's so weird! I thought i had the stomach flu at first! I now have a cold on top of the "withdrawl pains." I would have panic attacks 5 times a day about a week ago. I'm almost back to normal and thank god. I'm not taking any other ind of medication for 2 more months and I'm going to go to a completely different hormone medicine the next time I try one. I hope you feel better soon too!
