Anxiety problem symptoms and conditions

Hello! I'm 27 and I've been taking Yasmin for probably 7 years and never had a single problem. My weight stayed the same, my periods got VERY regular, to the DAY, and things were ok.

Starting about 3 months ago I was on my honeymoon and decided to skip my period that month which I do a few times a year and Yasmin never let me down! Anyways my period came anyways and not only that, but I spotted an extra week after! It was most noticable in the mornings after having sex. It was just brown and yucky. Then I didn't have a period the next month, only 24 hours of brown and this month I had a regular one. On top of that I've suddenly gained 5 pounds without changing ANYTHING. I wonder, can Yasmin suddenly screw me up so many years after I started taking it? I hear horror stories about Yasmin but I only see it from women taking it for a few months or maybe a year? It was always so good to me. What's going on? The weight gain terrifies me too because I so easily gain weight and I've been trying so hard to eat well and I feel like it's been pointless. It ticks me off more because I have to pay $50 a month for Yasmin even AFTER insurance pays 15, and now I think it's messing my body up too.

I have a OBGYN appointment in a few weeks and I'm going to talk to her about it and see about getting on a new pill anyways for price reasons, but do you think all these weird sudden symptoms are from Yasmin? Can you recommend a pill? I can't afford to gain anymore weight. I just can't...

Took the medication for 1 month. Have never felt the same since I stopped it. Sharp pulsating pains in arms and hands. Joint pain. Blood pressure problem, anxiety problem, swollen glands (anyone else?), headaches, pains in legs.

Maybe coincidence..maybe not. Scares the hell outta me. Im a 35 year old male. Took it to control not so serious asthma.

Anyone else feel the same?

I went to the hospital yesterday cause I came down with a cold and had a problem wheezing. I thought I would be treated for a bronchial infection, but instead was given meds for asthma (which I did not know I had). The weird part is that the Dr. did not even tell me I had asthma, I has to ask him straight out after he was describing the prescription for inhalers for me.
When I got home I took the Prednisone with soup and fell asleep. I woke up an hour later in such a whirlwind I thought I was in a nightmare. The drug kicked off intense, compulsive breathing and lead to a 12-hour panic attack. I already have an anxiety problem and this drug wigged me out more than ever before. I called the pharmacist and told her what I was goig through, but she said it was normal and to keep up with the dosage.
It was the worse experience of my life. I vomited all day and night, rocked back and forth compulsively, heart was racing like I was bound to have a heart attack, became extremely sore and weak, I could barely walk. I was even praying to God over and over again to take the effects away...I thought I was going to lose it. I thought about going to the emergency room, but knew they wouldn't help me. So, I rode it out in extreme pain and near insanity....my boyfriend was worried sick and didn't know how to help me.
You couldn't offer me any amount of money to take that drug again...I knew I was done with it after one day. Now after reading all of your posts I know for sure that the short and long term affects are far from worth it. Please try any other alternative before taking this drug. I am bitter that the doctors do not warn you before giving it out like candy....makes it difficult to trust professionals with your health. Hope all of you have seen the light.

On the 3rd day of Lupron injection I developed upper back pain.The pain gets worse when I move or when I breath. It went away when I got my period however another symptoms surfaced. I wake up in the middle of the night with palpitation and feel like cramps in my chest. It would last for 10minutes and I get very tired. Could be an anxiety or panic attack but I never have anxiety problem.
