1. Blood Pressure 180/120 resulting in an emergency room trip 2...

Hi!

I have been on Yasmin for 3 years and stopped 3 weeks ago with the end of the last pack.
I am still not sure that any of my symptoms have been cause by yasmin, but reading the reviews has made me very suspicious.
For the first 1-15 years on Yasmin, I did not have any really bothering symptoms except strong anxiety (occasional) nad elevated blood pressure, which I always explained with the anxiety. Since I had my very first anxiety attack 2 week before I started Yasmin, I cannot be sure whether Yasmin has caused or aggravated the continued my symptoms. At any rate, before I stopped almost a month ago, I was having leg pain, permanent anxiety, very high blood pressure, muscle paind, stomach pains, dry eyes, funny throat coarseness, extreme weakness and depression...I hope the symptoms get better with time...

Oh MY GOSH! I have been researching this topic for a while now, and I am so glad to see that people are finally talking about this. I too have been on Yasmin for about 5 years and am now being monitored for high blood pressure. I have noticed my BP continue to rise over the last couple years, but no one has ever really mentioned that Yasmin could be to blame. I am going to go for a trial of 3 or so weeks off the pill in about a week and i hope this is it, otherwise, my doc is going to put me on some BP meds. Please let me know how you girls are doing off the Yasmin, and if your BP has lowered to normal. My mom is convinced that there is no way it could be the Yasmin, but Im not and your testimonies are definitely support! So thank you!

According to my doctor, it takes a few months for BC to go out of your system. I'm still on BP meds, although they have now switched them to beta blockers, which have also helped with the anxiety that had become so normal to me that I didn't even realize that I had it until I started taking the new medicine. My BP is fluctuating, so my doc doesn't want to try and take me off the BP meds until it stabilizes for a couple of months. Further evidence that after 2 months the Yasmin is not out of my system is that my period has not been normal yet, my weight is fluctuating a lot, and I'm really moody. Nkshah, I would give it more than 3 weeks time, but perhaps, like me, if your BP is really high, you might suggest temporarily going on BP meds so that no harm comes to you while you are waiting for the Yasmin to wear off. Be well. Keep us posted.
