You are not crazy...unless I am too. I have been on Yasmin for over a year and had no side effects that were too troublesome to warrant discontinuing usage of the pill. A little bit of weight gain is no big deal compared to pregnancy. About 2 months ago I started having anxiety attacks, waking up in the middle of the night drenched with sweat, my blood was boiling, skin was boiling, heart pounding, and I felt like I was losing my mind. Besides all of the anxiety, my stomach was a mess. I had constipation that was so bad I couldn't go to the bathroom for almost a week. Then I couldn't sleep altogether. I ended up in the emergency room 3 times within a few week period for "anxiety." The doctors told me I was depressed and had anxiety and simply put me on Xanax and sleeping pills but they didn't take away my anxiety and I still couldn't sleep. I continued having "panic attacks," depression, nausea, indigestion and sleepless nights. FINALLY...I found this message board!!!
I stopped taking Yasmin 2 days ago and I'm praying for the best. I can't believe that all of those doctors overlooked my symptoms and kept putting me on meds to cover up for the fact that this pill was making me so sick.
I'll update later if I continue to feel better.
As for now...stay strong and keep up the posts. It's so great to have a forum of support.
