Thank you to all of those who have posted to this website. After two years on Yasmin, I kept attributing heart fluttering (started six months ago), horrible mood swings (past three months), weight gain (noticed three months ago), and of course, horrible symptoms of PMS (three months), not to mention the anxiety attacks. Of course, like everyone else, I didn't put it all together until today. I started looking back to see when all these "things" started happening, and realized I was not taking any other medication besides Yasmin. Heart - the doctor said the EKG didn't show anything, but recommended a stress test, though the sudden "smothering" feelings kept on, anxiety attacks began (nothing changed in my life to bring on any anxiety, and in fact, my life has never been better professionally or personally), severe headaches on the third week, and then a noticeable weight gain (at least to me, as I work out all the time and eat healthy and could not figure out what it was). Breast size increased some, not enough to go up a size, but enough to notice my bra fitting tighter and not because of any weight lifting. I am about to call my doctor and tell his nurse and get off these pills. I am miserable and so moody and angry all the time, for no reason. I felt like I lost my old self the past few months. Sex drive is diminished since being on Yasmin. Does anyone know how quickly the weight comes off after stopping these pills or hormones? I have always been thin and these pills have almost forced me to invest in a new wardrobe. Thank goodness I am not going crazy.
