I am so glad that I found this site. I was beginning to feel like I was losing my mind. I have been on Yasmin for only 2 months but have been experiencing many of the side effects mentioned- fatigue, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, anxiety, dizziness, and flu-like symptoms. I had these same symptoms when I was on Yaz last year. I wound up going to the hospital for shortness of breath and chest pain. The doctor thought it may be blood clots, but after testing he diagnosed me with bronchitis and asthma (I am 26- never had either in my life). There is definitely something wrong with these pills. I do have anxiety and currently take Xanax. But I have not had panic attacks like this since I was on the pill last year. Sometimes I need to think about breathing to catch my breath and lately it had been hard for me to sleep because my heart is racing. My periods have been lighter and my migraines less severe, but it is not worth it to continue on Yasmin.

I took Yaz one day. The next morning I woke up with two very large calf leg cramps. My cheeks and lips and tongue were all swollen. Chest hurt, huge panic attack, hard to breathe. I wanted to take Accutane for this horrible cystic like acne that suddenly appeared about age 34 and so I went and got the Paragard IUD (copper). It is going ok with that. I am 36 now and hormonal birth control is no longer for me. I've never had an adverse reaction with a medication before. Yaz and Yasmin are lifesavers for some and definitely not for some of us.
