Hi to all Yasmin victims. I have been off Yasmin for 2 months now...

Hi Bety,

Search on google: "create forum yasminsurvivors" and you will find a very helpful website where flowerbabies is still on.

Oh my goodness. I feel like I could have written this myself about 6 months ago. I FEEL YOUR PAIN and YOU WILL GET BETTER. I know the pain of anxiety and depression. I never had it at the level I did until taking yasmin. It has been the hardest thing I've EVER had to go through. Have faith. I'm feeling sooooooooo much better. I'm at work so I can't type for long - but couldn't help from replying to you because I know how you feel. This hit me while I was planning my wedding - imagine the guilt and despair I felt for my poor fiancee. Well, we're married and I'm out of the dark. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Dear Bety,
As a previous person said, go to createforum and search yasminesurvivors and you will find many others who suffered what you are going through. I too had the extreme anxiety in the mornings and it was terrifying and debilitating to me. I am now exactly one year off the yaz pill, and things are still working themselves out, but for the most part all the anxiety has passed. I had other problems with it that were physical, and they still remain to a degree, but I continue to strive for returned health. You hang in there, remind yourself over and over that what you are feeling is not YOU, it is an effect of this terrbile hormone pill still causing havoc to your system, and it will pass. It was the hardest thing I ever have had to deal with in my life, because the anxiety it created for me was so bad I thought I would end up hospitalized in a mental ward. I did not though, and I am greatful every day for the support I had from others at yasminesurvivors and especially from my loving husband who kept reminding me who I was, and that I would get better. Keep your loved ones close, let them know that you are not yourself right now and let them help you. Now is the time to lean on others, and don't refrain. You have been set back by this pill, and it will take time to recuperate. Be kind to yourself, don't push and don't panic. Know that YOU WILL get over this, but it will take time. If you would like to post back to me, I am more than willing to talk with you and give you support. I know what you are going through, so hard at times. Be strong, stay calm and write me if you like, I am here for you. Beth

I fill your pain.It seems like Yasmin has helped me with my moods. But I have my days. I am experiencing other side effects that are scaring me. But depression is a serious thing. Your not alone I have been there. My relief is through prayer.That is the only thing that has got me through.Your in my prayers and yes, there is HOPE.
