Did anyone find they where extra paranoid and jumpy while on Yasm...

After two months of taking this pill, my worst side effects I suffered from were anxiety and panic attacks. Paranoia is def a symptom of anxiety. Synthetic hormones can give you some bad side effects if you are sensitive to them. Be careful.

Im sorry you all have gone through hell with this drug, but SO relieved im not alone! I googled Yasmin and was brought to this site and so thankful to find your replys. I have 4 more days left of the actual colored pill and then a week of white? Is that when you are suppost to have your period? That bites im used to Yaz has only 4 noncolored pills? Ok so for me in the last 3 weeks i went from being a very possitive, excited, self driven, amazing mom, solid person ,with an enormous sex drive! To a reclusive, anxiety ridden, homophobe, depressed mother, wife and person. I have no sex drive whatsoever. I am constantly bothered with very high-anxiety thoguhts that are rediculous like "what if someone is in my backyard right now, and coming to kill me." or "what if my kids will be kidnapped and killed tonight." or" what if i leave the house and get crushed by a cement truck while driving," or "what if my kids die young" etc.... it never ends. Cant sleep, dont want to do anything during the day. Today i finally left the house, only to get to the place i was going, park my car, turn it off. Turn it back on and drive home - couldnt wait to get home, i didnt want anyone to see me i didnt want to wait in lines?? This is horrible. Oh and also i have absolutley NO patience with anything. Went to the bank today because i had to and one bad thing with my account happend bad right after the other, and it was all i could do to hold myself back from leaning over and tearing the 'customer service' ladys head off. And yes my poor family - i snap at them all the time about the stupidest things. Feel like im always about to blow. And also usually have a great self image - which is all but gone im so paranoid about how i look, so much so that i dont want to leave the house?

I was taking yaz 3 weeks ago and then switched to yasmin (have been taking yasmin for the last 3 weeks and have ALL these symptoms out of nowhere). I thought they were similar but i guess not since i pay 65 for the Yaz and nothing for the yasmin?

guess you get what you pay for? This is a horrible drug.

Oh my goodness - that's EXACTLY what happened to me!! Minus the being a mom part, I don't have any kids. I too turned a little homophobic. Insane anxiety and panic, and I've never experienced that before. WEIRD!!! hahaha-sorry I'm laughing, but when I think about all this stuff - it's just so crazy what a little pill can do to throw you off! And when you're in the thick of it, it seems so real!
You are not alone. I'm 8 months down the road from stopping this pill, and I feel much better - still trying to make light of the situation - but MUCH better. Don't mess with synthetic hormones and take care of your body!
God Bless,
