Thank you, Yasmin takers and victims! I began taking Yasmin in 2004. I had no problems. In fact, all was well, I loved my life, started and finished a master's degree, and got engaged over the past few years, while taking the pill. About a month ago, however, everything changed. I began snapping at my fiancé, crying uncontrollably, thinking about ways to not be around people, and even thought about hurting myself to relieve the emotional pain I was experiencing. I thought I was all alone. A week ago a friend of mine asked me if we could talk. She had been experiencing some of the same symptoms. I hadn't spoken to her about my problems, because I was embarrassed and felt I could deal with it all by myself. After she opened up, I was able to admit my own overwhelming anxiety. We promised each other that we would get through this together. And so, we began looking for similarities in our lives (diet, work, stress, etc.). Yasmin. We both take it. Although I know that medication affects different people in different ways, it appears that the drug is affecting a lot of people in a negative way. Maybe we can bind together, and get something done, so that others don't have to experience what we have.

Anxiety, depression, severe panic attacks, blurred vision, ear pressure/pain, absolutely no energy, dehydrated, loss of balance, and mental confusion. I experienced all of these symptoms after being on yasmin for a very short time and I had never experienced any of these symptoms before. It has taken my body a long time to heal. There is an amazing website for those who had terrible reactions from yasmin. You can go there for support & tips on how to heal your body. Here is the link if anyone is interested: http://www.createforum.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=1&mforum=yasminsideeffec
