Hi girls I have been reading your entries with great interest as I feel I may be yet another victim of the side effects of Yasmin. Since taking Yasmin just over a year ago I have been battling with my weight ( I put on near enough a stone in weight and my breasts jumped a whole cupsize!), feeling extremely panicky and being very emotional for about a week before my period is due to start, and really vicious after I go back on it.
It all came to a head last night when I made my partner call out the paramedics as I thought I was on the verge of a heart attack.( I'm 28!) Out of no-where my heart started racing and I became very faint and extremely aware of my heart beating - it was almost deafening! I had noticed a few months ago that this was happening but put it down to me smoking. Since then I have stopped smoking but the feelings are just the same!
The reason I switched to Yasmin was to try and help with acne, but I don't think it has really done that much. I have never felt so out of control of myself as I do on this pill. Prior to Yasmin I never suffered anxiety attacks, some days they are so bad that I have to take days off work as I can't get of the house.

I guess all contraceptive pills will have side effects but I can't wait to see my GP and get off this, it's just too scary!

Best wishes to all other Yasmin users, we all know what you are going through. XxX
