Hi all I am a 24 year old, quite anxious person and have had pro...

I threw away my pills mid cycle- only issue was i started my period the next day and had really bad cramps (but i would take them vs the horrible anxiety. I've read it can take a couple months for the anxiety to go away completely. I actually got prescribed xanax for the panic attacks (which is when i threw away Yaz).

Hi, I took Yasmin for about 8 months and then this last Dec. of 07' I became really ill, with a wicked stomachache that put me in the emergency room, twice in one month. Awful nausea, and my vision became cloudy and I was really dizzy for most of the month. Needless to say, just to be sure it wasn't my pill (it was the only medication i take) I went off the Yasmin mid cycle and then had terrible anxiety symptoms to the point that I couldn't even lay down. I was constantly moving around the house. Finally I went to a psychiatrists that gave me Xanax to calm me down. I could finally eat and sleep again. I still can't see quite right though and I get the jitters and a tight neausous stomach in the morning, but doing much better. It is now the end of March? I would say depending on how long you've been taking it, a few months before its completely out of your system. The nurse at my obgyn's office is adamit that Yasmin doesn't have withdrawl symptoms but I call BS on that. Oh, and it totally kills your sex drive, but gets rid of acne though. I'm going to try Lo Estrin 21 starting next month, because I get horrible cramps and need to go some sort of BC pill. Hope this helps!
