I have been on birth control since I was 16 due to severe cramps during that time of the month. I have been on several different kinds. They placed me on Yasmin about 3 yrs ago. I thought that was the best one that I had ever been on until I went off of it. I have been off of Yasmin for about 2 1/2 months, since then I have developed anxiety, panic attacks, depression, with racing thoughts. I have contacted my OBGYN who said that this would not be a side effect. I have to say that everyone's body is different. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced any of these symptoms and if so how long will I feel like this?

I'm writting back to you because i have had everything happen to me that has happened to you.I thought I was losing my mind for a while. I have only been on yaz for 3 weeks and it has been 3 weeks of hell..I'm so moody during the day and at night i just completely bug out..My heart starts beating so fast it feels like its going to pop out of my chest and my mind starts racing in a way i never experieced..Its really scary..It's like a full blown panic attack..Well now that I know I'm not alone I'm stopping the pill today..This is to scary for me.. I don't need any extra stress in my life just from taking a pill.

I have been on this particular pill for the last 5 months. I started taking it to regulate my periods & to end the terrible cramps that I have. Recently I have noticed that I have been getting more and more depressed every month. I cry so much and i have been having social anxiety. I dont want to see my friends and i have all this anger. My doctor never told me about these side effects. The web site doesn't list them either. I was starting to think i was going nuts before i found this site. I hope better. Good health to you!
