I was on Yasmin for two years. I loved it because there was no more acne, no more heavy periods, or cramps. Back in February I had an episode of dizziness and my heart racing. I was taken to the ER and nothing was wrong except low potassium. About a month ago I started having the same symptoms again. My doctor took me off of Yasmin two weeks ago and I am still having symptoms. I am currently being evaluated by a cardiologist due to chest pain, heart palpitations, and fast heart rate. I feel so bad and I have no energy. I am usually bubbly and full of life. Does anyone know how long it takes for this medication to get out of your system and feeling back to normal again?

Been off it for more than a month and still having issues! Good luck! I had some of the same problems as you. Very scary side effects that caused me to get into a car accident that could have killed myself and my daughter.

Make sure that you have replaced your low potassium with prescription potassium chloride. You should monitor your potassium regularly because the side effects you are experiencing with the palpitations... are probably just due to the low potassium. The human body cannot function with a low potassium. Many people do not function well even with a low "normal" level.
