I was on yasmin for 6 months. In the first couple of months, I started feeling increasingly depressed, anxious for no reason, I didn't feel like myself and I felt unhappy and tired all the time. By the sixth month, I didn't know who I was anymore and started having panic attacks and a lot of crying spells. All of this started without any apparent reason.

I stopped taking it a month ago, but things have only slightly changed. I'm terrified that it's not the pill, because in that case I have no idea what's wrong with me.

Has anyone had a similar experience, did stopping yasmin work, and how long did it take for you to get back to normal?

Thank you so much

I would suggest visiting your doctor. He or she might be able to give you more information about it or even suggest changing your pill to something else.

You don't need to suffer through this. Talk to your doctor.
