Epic Melt Down! Yasmin Birth Control - Fail.

I have officially become a lunatic- basket case- crazy pmsing cry at the drop of a hat- nutz.

9 days into taking the Yasmin 28 pill and I've lost my friggin mind.
Yesterday, mid afternoon at work I hit an all bottom low, emotionally. 
If you were breathing wrong, I probably swore at you in my head. Crazy.

About 4 days into the package I started having all sorts of symptoms.
Extremely tender breasts, blurred vision, constant dull headache, insomnia, constant racing heart, shortness of breath, mood swings that could make a manic person look sane!

Was it all hype worked up in my head? Who knows, but it was coming to a head whether I was ready for it or not.  I left work abruptly about 2pm, while quickly losing my ability to keep my composer emotionally and professionally. Got home less than an hour later and slept til 8pm. Not feeling refreshed, only more sad, gloomy and wishing I could just curl up and sleep life away. 

I've had a bout of depression in my past due to extreme circumstances, but this, this was erratic and if I had been on the streets someone might have called the police to lock me up. 
Know how humiliating it is to be on transit sobbing uncontrollably? Ya this isn't building ANY character.

At some point last night I decided this emotional roller coast I've been experiencing the last 9 days was so not worth it, to clear up a little chin, back, breast acne.  Hormonal my ass. Can only imagine what I'll be like when I start going thru peri-menopause if this is how my body reacted to birth control.
I called the nurses line 811 and explained what I was feeling et cetra and asked if it was okay/safe to just stop taking the pill. They advised me yes it was and mentioned that this clearly wasn't the bcp for me.

After asking why I was taking bcp's over the age of 35, I gave them all the reasons we were trying this.  They understood and said it was more imperative I stop taking it if I was indeed having the side effects I claimed, considering I wasn't taking it for birth control itself. Weighed the pro/con list.
Being as upset as I was, no one in the right mind would dare tell me I wasn't feeling those things.
She also mentioned that it should be a week before I'm 100% normal.

Day 10 - I'm no longer taking the Yasmin 28. 
When I inform my doctor that I've stopped, I'll also mention that I never wish to do that again. I'll deal with the acne. The topical and penicillin seem to be working just fine with no negative side effects.
Til then, I'll fake my good mood til it becomes true.

Personally, I can not recommend this bcp to anyone who may be sensitive to taking drugs.
Who knows if being over 35 contributed to this result or not.

Update - Yasmin Birth Control - Side effects, already?

I've been on this pill a week now, and although I like the very noticeable "barely there" womanhood gift, I'm already experiencing side effects or at least I think I am.

Coincidence? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Recap: I'm over 35, have hypothyroidism, and 60 lbs over weight.
Aside from that I"m healthy.

In the past week:
-My breasts have been tender to the point of making me cranky all week. Sore to touch when in the shower.
-I've been crying way-too-easily in the last couple days. (Woes is me week or the pill?)
-I'm also wearing my glasses more often as I'm finding I'm slightly blurred more than usual.
(Maybe overtired?)
-Finding it increasingly harder to fall asleep at a normal time. 2-3am on a week day is not normal when you get up at 530am.
-Constant mild headache. (Due to blurred vision or the pill?)

So what are the chances that all this started happening the same week I started taking the pill?

I decided to do more reading on Yasmin side effects and keep getting bounced to these terrifying sites.
Ones that say if you experience one or more of the following you're at an increase risk of experiencing SERIOUS OR DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS.

um ya, remind again why I'm taking this pill?

At the moment I'm seriously considering not even chancing it and just stopping the pill.
Really is a little face acne @ almost 40 worth what could be long term side effects?

Can you just stop taking the pill or should I finish the cycle?

Now on one of these sites, it did say all women experience side effects at different rates.
Some right away, some in time, some may never. 

Question:
Do I stop asap or give it this package to see if anything/everything subsides.

In addition the Rentiol topical creme and penicillin seems to be doing wonders.
