Well where to start. It started one Weds morning at work. Suddenly came over all dizzy and light headed and felt really really sick. Went home and started with a temperature. Parents say I was pretty spaced out for several days and didn’t really want to talk to anyone. It’s like I was there but I wasn’t. Went to doctor a couple of times and they diagnosed a virus. Problems with sleeping started. Ended up at the hospital out of hours as I was shaking, felt sick, thought I was going to pass out. Nothing found so sent back home. Saw doc again and was referred to a doctor at the hospital who had an interest in viruses. Saw doc and loads of blood was taken for testing. Went back after a couple of weeks and blood tests where clear. By that point I was feeling a bit better so they thought it was post viral fatigue. Went back to work part time and worked myself up to full time. Then it started again. Had to be fetched from work. Colleagues said it was more like I was having a panic attack. Broke down completely. Couldn’t stop crying and was in a right state. Went to docs and was diagnosed with depression and still post viral fatigue. My main symptoms have been, panic attacks, anxiety, faintness, dizziness, nausea, general feeling of unwell, blocked ears, palpitations. There are probably more but I can’t think of them at the minute (Oh yeah, brain fogginess as well !) More blood tests were done and that’s when they said my hormones were a bit low but they didn’t think it was anything to worry about. That’s when I started researching Low hormones and started to come across the problems with Yasmin. I cannot tell you what a relief it’s been. I honestly thought I was going mad and that there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head. I sat looking that the screen going ‘that’s me !’ Have stopped taking them straight away. Will see how we get on. Doctor didn’t know anything about the problems and has said he will be interested to know how I get on. I cannot believe they didn’t know. Main thing is I know now and can start getting better.

Um you have completely described my exact same yasmin experience down to a T. Worst feeling in the world if you ask me.

I thought that I was the only one with all of your symptoms and still more. My symptoms started a few weeks before Christmas and they kept getting worst and then I found Yasmin survivors in March and stopped taking pill right away. Every month is sooooo much better. I still have anxiety issues but I try to meditate and exercise. I recommend all women to use condoms because this is better for our bodies in the long run.

I started taking Yasmin a week ago and within 3 days I felt nausea and light headed, the next day the same but worse (I had been jumping around in a big swell in the sea and thought maybe this was at fault!) On 5th day of taking I took to my bed with the room spinning and just a horrible feeling of sickness (although I wasn't sick) yesterday I felt too rough to move but made an appointment for the doctors today who has just told me he thinks it is a viral bug, (he was looking for raised blood pressure and migraines which I didn't have!) I am sure it is the pill as the symptoms are strongest an hour or so after taking.... anyway he has told me to stop taking them and to start again with my next period and see what happens but I think I already know after reading your post!
