I was on Yaz for over a year, and about 2 months ago I stopped taking it. I started taking another birth control about a month later. I had taken only 2 pills of the new birth control. But One night I was driving at night by myself, and all of a sudden I got really scared and anxious and my heart started pounding. I didnt kno what was going on I thought I was gonna die. I went to the er and they told me I had a panic attack. Iv never had them before in my life.Since then iv had 4 more. Its been a little less then a month and now everytime I drive at night I get so scared Im going to have another one. I go to the doctor but he keeps telling me my NEW birth control might have caused it. But I only took 2 pills, and after that night I never took it again. He keeps telling me that its still in my system buts it been almost a month.
I was just wondering if anyone else has developed any anxiety disorders after stopping the birth control Yaz. I think maybe iv developed a withdraw from it. Iv brought it up to my doctor, he says its a possibility but right now they think its the new birth control(which I stopped taking). Im also looking for tips to help me get over it faster. People to talk to even... Noone in my family has ever had them, so they really dont understand. and some of my friends just think im exaggerating. But Im not by any means, Im so scared and I hate feeling this way. I feel like im not gonna be able to enjoy anything anymore. Just thinking about certain things make me panic.. I just want this to go away.. IDK what to do! %-)

After 20-some years of never having a panic attack, I am convinced Yaz made me experience semi-frequent panic attacks. I have read enough posts on enough discussion boards to know that there are many, MANY other women who have dealt with this very serious side effect that NO DOCTOR DISCUSSES before you start Yaz.
I stopped Yaz and started therapy, yoga and anti-anxiety medication. I still deal with anxiety, but the panic attacks have almost stopped completely. Don't hesitate to seek help for panic. See a medical professional. They can help you!!!
