I have been on Yasmin for around 5 months now and am absolutely fine for the three weeks of taking the pills, however as soon as i stop taking them on the pill free week i become extremely aggressive and emotional. I cry all the time and feel so depressed and angry. I feel myself become furious over the littlest things. I have also begun to have panic attacks over small things and have become scared of everything. Has anyone else experienced this?

To me that that you have described seems like on your pill free week, that you rbody is craving the drug, whether it is possible I couldn't tell you, but to feel anxiety, furious, emotional and aggressive behaviour, seems to me as if its an addiction that you are or were aware of. I would seriously consider talking to a health visitor about it, or family planning clinic. Thats there domain. Doctors only prescribe what you ask for really providing they feel the need.

Yes, I was prescribed Yasmine 3 months ago to control Anemia. I have been feeling the rage, breathlessness, depression, detachment and anxiety that many of you talk about. I have no reason in the world to be on Birth Control, my husband has had a vasectomy. I have doctor appt. on Monday and I am DONE. I have been feeling uninterested in the the things I have always loved, prolonged periods, headaches, a rash on my leg that I cannot get rid of...etc. My kids ask me what is wrong on a regular basis and I snap at the people I love. I also began taking a prenatal vitamin to bring up my iron levels, at the same time as beginning the Yasmine, and have found a decrease in my initial fatigue and body pain (a side affect of anemia). I ONLY need IRON - NOT birth control. The shortness of breath is what has me really scared, I have asthma and am on a regular medication to control it, which has worked fine until now. I am finished with birth control- PERIOD!
