I am so frustrated and yet releived at the same time. I am a 25 yr old mother of two beautiful children. I started taking Yasmin right after my daughter was born and have been on it for over two years now. In January, I started having a lot of the symptoms described here: Panic attacks, dizziness, vision problems, anxiety, headaches, chest pain, muscle weakness (my legs feel like slabs of meat), spotting between periods,etc... I loved the Yasmin at first. I had no problems AT ALL until a few months ago. I thought I was going crazy. I have been doing a lot of research online trying to find out if maybe I had a hormone imbalance or if I was just doomed to suffer in silence for the rest of my life. I had been in the ER three times thinking my life was in serious danger during one of the horrendous panic attacks. Every doctor I have seen has wanted to put me on anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax. A big thank you to whoever started this site! I am going to throw this pack of pills away today and stop taking Yasmin forever! I cannot believe something like this would be marketed to women. I just wonder how many others out there are suffering and still do not know that it's the Yasmin. Thanks a million times! What a relief!
