I have been on Yasmin for about 8 months, although I did not notice any symptoms initially about three months later I was at my MD. having some real trouble w/ anxiety and panic attacks( I was really troubled by this as I never considered myself an anxious person) He wanted to put me on Paxil and I said no- I would find another way to manage. I joined a gym and this helped alleviate some of the symptoms. It was not until I discovered this website that this all is starting to make sense. However my story gets worse before better. About 1 month ago I started with a series of strange symptoms. Perhaps the most troubling was a constant trembling of my hands! I was also experiencing extreme fatigue, dizziness, and lightheadedness, and strange spots in front of my eyes. (this all got worse after I ate for some reason) Back to the MD again who ran 2 tests, thyroid and blood sugar. Nada! he again recommended Paxil!!! I was so disgusted. Mt co-workers convinced me to try getting off of Yasmin just to see if it would help. I am happy to report, 9 days after stopping my symptoms are starting to subside. My symptoms were very scary... I even started w/ heart palpitations!! Doc said"long term stress" please!!! I'm sorry stress is not to blame for everything. GOODBYE YASMIN and GOOD RIDANCE!!!

Help me please! I was on Yasmin for only three months but it has changed my life dramatically. I realized it all when a cop stopped me and my driver's licence was taken away. I reacted by crying hysterically, for over two weeks, vomitting everything I ate (I lost 10 pounds in two weeks) and feeling drepressed. I went off the pill right away and now almost three months later, it happened again. This time it is job/career related and I am at work and all of a sudden I burst out crying and my chest hurts and I feel such a failure and extremely depressed. After being off the pills for almost three months, is this normal? or am i officially going crazy? Will I react to every stressful situation with extreme anxiety attacks? Please help!
