Hi guys! Something really horrible happened to me last month and it’s affecting me now as well...I’m only 19 years old and I have suffer from dysmenorrhea which is why I was prescribed Yasmin as a resolution for my irregular and heavy painful periods. A week into taking it I had horrible anxiety episodes which lasted about 48 hrs and I went hospital and told it was just a panic attack and to go home and relax. I had a withdrawal bleeding 2-3days after and the anxiety continued for another week....it was torture and I was so scared. Two weeks passed now and I’m completely back to normal and I’m feeling amazing...since it was uni break I decided to go out for a night with the girls and drink. It drank quite a bit but I wasn’t extremely wasted. The next day I had horrible leg tingling and was extremely light headed. I went to the doctors two days after when the symptoms wouldn’t subside and was told it was anxiety...to be honest I’ve never in my life have suffered from anxiety issues and it wasn’t until that pill that I experienced anything like this. It’s been now a little over two weeks and I’m still lightheaded and not even lying down helps...I’m so tired and I feel nauseous...my neck is stiff. I’m so scared and I keep crying because I haven’t improved at all...someone pls help me! My blood test have came back normal and so has my urine tests :(

Does your doctor think you're having side effects from the Yasmin?

[Becule]

No. My doctor thinks it’s unrelated :( I also I stopped taking the tablet after 1 week...I just had more blood work done and I am having an mri soon but no one knows what’s wrong with me...I went hospital last night and a doctor thinks it might be sinus problem or a virus??

I am now experiencing blurred vision in one eye and pressure. I also have horrible joint and muscle pain...the lightheadedness has gotten better but I still have head tension and I am having slight stabbing pains in the back of my head. The pain also happens on my back and pelvic area. I have no idea what’s happening to me :(

Glad you're getting an MRI!how scary!

[Becule]

I just got an mri and I do have sinus issues which could be the issue for my blurred vision and head pain! I got my eyes checked and they came back normal and so did my mri besides the sinus issue!! I’m so glad I’m okay...
