I am 26 years old, have a great job, boyfriend, friends and famil...

I'm about to go off soon and am hoping I normalize quickly, but I think everyone is different. It may take a couple more months for it to be totally out of your system. Are you on something new or off of pills completely? I feel your pain, my friend. It's crazy to think of how many women are affected in this way and how you read none of this in the stupid little pill directions that come in the pack. Terrifying, really.
I wish you the best. Keep us posted on how you're feeling.

Okay, I reply to a lot of people on this page, because I know I felt, and still feel. It feels so good to know it's not you, it's your hormones that are causing these crazy feelings. After only 2months on the pill is when my sever anxiety and panic started. After a week of hell, I stopped the pill. It's gotten sooooo much better, but it's been a process. My first period off the pill was a bad one, a lot of the anxiety came back, and that was so discouraging. I'm on a vitamin/supplement program from a website called Women to Women. These people have a practice up in Maryland and they really stress getting your hormone levels back to where they should be. The women I've talked to on the phone have said that they get lots of people calling with these same side effects from lots of bc pills, but especially Yaz and Yasmin. One women said that coming off the pill is many times worse for some women. It's been about 3 months for me, and I feel so much better, but not yet myself. I'm scarred. I will never take synthetic hormones again. I hope you are feeling better. Good luck!!!

Hi Nicole-
I think I replied to your post about yasmin and anxiety a few months ago. Just wanted to know how yo uare doing? It's been about 8 months off teh pill for me, and I must admit I feel soooooooooo much better, but I still have days when anxiety can get to me. For me it's the obsessive thinking - and I never had this before the pill. Have you gotten any other help for your anxiety? Did you have the obsessive thinking hat accompanies anxiety? Just trying to get a hold of other women who've dealt with what I've had to deal with. I want to feel like myself 100% of the time and not be scared to feel the anxiety!
Thanks!
Crystal
