AmyR-
I started Xanax a month ago and Paxil 2 days ago. You are NOT alone. I am dreading my daughter's 6th b-day party in 2 weeks. I was NEVER like this, I swear to it.
I saw the doc today (Sat) and he assured me that I won't be on paxil forever, this should only take a few months. He also wants me monitored by a counselor. No biggie but it is not easy with 2 kids to go from doc to doc.
I feel less anxiety lately. I find it so strange to have anxiety since I used to work in a very people-oriented field, getting up and speaking in front of 100 people was a once-a-week thing for me. My spells seem to hot me at 7 pm every night, go figure. Coincidence or not... that is the time I used to take my Yasmin tablet.
I am glad that you too sought help to get through this. It is NOT easy, I know.
Lisa- I am in the northeast USA.
Feel better everyone!

Im solidly into my third week in my third month on Yasmin. With each passing month the mood swings and PMS get more extreme (week three is nearly impossible- my bfriend and I have simply become accustomed to dreading it). I've never felt so withdrawn from myself and others- its almost as if Ive had a perpetual inner shadow since day one. It JUST finally clicked after a friend of mine mentioned that 4 days after dropping Yasmin she's already 90% happier. Go figure. I too have had acne on the lower chin area of my face and have gain a few pounds. Nothing significant, but a woman knows when she gains weight and isnt eating more. Ive always been stable and happy and lately Ive found other things to blame for all the drastic changes in my life- I just trashed the last half of the packet...let the good times roll.

Iam sorry I didnt mean to make it sound like your symptoms were any less that story is horrible and worse than me!
I dont know how you did it you must be so strong!
Well it does make me feel better light at the end of my tunnel.
Its hard no one understands except for you guys.
People around me dont understand what is taking so long they think Iam better than Iam worse it isnt like a cold or a sore throat.
I miss me I miss what I could do I miss how I use to enjoy life I miss running around and being so tired from having fun
i miss my daughter
i miss my family
I miss dreading having to go to work
I miss shopping
I miss smiling and laughing
I miss having a glass of wine
i miss my friends
I miss looking in the mirror and thinking Iam pretty
I miss wanting to have sex
I miss everything and its not fair that some man made pill took all that away from me
I never took a man made pill in my life excpet for a Alieve or Tylenol
How is this allowed how is this allowed in our countries
How can this keep going on and on
I dont understand it all
Iam so sorry for you I too feel like Iam 5 years old dont like being alone I have so many fears now
Iam full of anxiety in my arms and I cant relax I just dont know how Iam going to work and be the single mom I have always been
With the viatamins it seems when I take anything with B it makes me more anxious I know my body is robbed of it probably but it makes me more anxious??
And Sara your so helpful too all of you are please keep emailing it gets me thru each day and talking to Dejay on the phone we talk 3 or 4 times a day has been a life saver.
Thank you
