In response to 'voicesi', please hang in there! The time it takes for this horrible pill to get out of your body seems to vary for everyone. I have heard that a doctor said that it can be up to three months for the hormones to be completely out of your body, but that it will get progressively better as time goes on. I was on Yasmin for nearly a year until I was 'hit' with waves of depression, anxiety/panic attacks, having horrible thoughts, rapid heart rate, dizziness/vertigo, loss of apetite. I became a completely different person and was scaring myself and my family. I stopped taking Yasmin 3 weeks ago and although I still have some anxiety (moreso constant worrying?) I am generally feeling alot better and feel like 'the old me' is coming back! I know alot of people have encouraged others to call the pharmaceutical companies to lodge the effects of Yasmin (and I'm not discouraging that), but I feel in order for the 'word to get out' it needs to be made known to the media??? Pharmaceutical companies have their own agenda with this information. Also, I worry about women who don't have links to the internet. I am just so thankful I found this website and to read others stories, like they were telling mine! Bring on the happy times!
