I've been taking the Yasmin birth control pill for five days and have been experiencing bad anxiety for the past two days. I have also stopped taking St. John's Wort, which I have been taking for the past year, as a result of going on Yasmin. The effects of stopping the SJW won't be noticable for about 2 weeks but I am concerned about the combined effect of the Yasmin with the lack of SJW. I have always reacted badly to any hormone pill, my hormones are pretty haywire anyway! I am dong a really high pressure PGCE course and am thinkng that this is probably not the right time to play guinea pig with my emotions/hormones. What does everyone think? Has anyone else experienced this anxiety and palpitations on Yasmin?

Did the feeling of near crying go away after 3 days? How long after beginning taking yasmin did this feeling start?

I did not experience the anxiety part while being on the Yasmin but I did have a hard time not wanting to cry for 3 days and this was crying for no reason.
Because of the palpitations I would definitely get in touch with the dr this week to let them know what's going on.
