Thank god for the internet-I don't know what I would have done if I had to feel the way I did from taking Yasmin any longer without knowing why. I took Yasmin for two months. In the third week of my second month I suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks along with irrational fears and obsessing on random thoughts that wouldn't normally bother me. When I would somewhat calm down, I would then feel so depresses because I didn't know why I just couldn't go back to feeling like myself. I am a worry-er, I admit, but never to this extreme. I was so nervous, I had no appetite and the anxiety really began to take its toll on me physically. Now that I look back on it, I was more nervous than usual in my first month, I have lost my sex drive, I have had small dizzy spells and blurred vision, random pains in my left lower abdomen area, but I never put these all together. When I found not only this website, but tons others with women writing about all of these side effects, I already started feeling like myself again. It's been 4 days off the pill and I still get a little anxious, but nothing like it was last week. I can't wait for this stuff to get out of my system. I did take the pill at 7:45 every night and I do notice I'm more nervous in the morning when I get up and by late afternoon, I start to relax and feel more like myself. Synthetic hormones are not natural and I really feel like we shouldn't put this stuff in our bodies. We are messing with scary stuff. God only knows what would have happened if I had to endure any more of that physical and mental pain!

i have a question for you. my gf broke up with me a week ago. we were best friends as well as a really close relationship. i love her to death. i couldnt add up why everything changed so fast. she said she didnt have feelings for me anymore, and everything just happened in 1 day. i was so confused. i thought about her birth control she went on about 2 months ago. yaz. after reading this, i knew it was it. it all added up. now i tried to talk to her about it, but she flipped out more. i have not talked to her in a week, hoping she would calm down. my question for you is how do i show her all these things that it could be the birth control and see where i am coming from? how do i show her this site to her without her knowing its me trying to show it to her so she does not flip out more?

I too am suffering from what I think are bad side effects of Yaz. I wanted to go on it after having my second child because it was a low-hormone pill. Now, I do have some minor anxiety issues in general (a total worry-wart personality), but nothing overhearing or life-alterating. I've been on Yaz for about 9 months and I'm putting two-and-two together, realizing the only time I was feeling "myself" was during the week of placebo pills. The other three weeks I was very moody and anxious, and got bad headaches, esp in the morning (I took the pills right before bed). I stopped taking the pill mid-cycle a few days ago and I am feeling back to my old self. I'm going to contact the doctor today about getting a new prescription to something NOT with that progesterone addition to the BC. I makes me want to swear off BC all together!
