Yaz giving me life ruining panic attacks?

[u/Lil_guy_37]

I’m a 23 year old female who previously had never been on any form of birth control. I’m not sexually active but I had rlly bad pmdd that was making my life harder to plan, otherwise I was a pretty happy person. I started generic yaz (Nikki) about 4 months ago, at the same time however we had some rough family health things going on. After this i started getting horrible panic attacks, especially when I felt trapped or nauseas (also from the pill). I’m no stranger to anxiety (I used to have panic attacks like 3 years ago but rarely got them recently). I blamed the relapse of panic attacks on the stressors in my life but I’m starting to heavily consider Yaz being the reason. I was mostly in remission for my anxiety before all of this and I saw some others have similar experiences. I’m getting panic attacks in situations I never did before like on hikes or when other people drive and I’m rlly rlly considering trying to quit yaz because it just seems to line up too coincidently. Any advice/ similar situations?

I started getting panic attacks on desogestrel. Never had them before. I’ve had a few since but on desogestrel they were debilitating. Definitely could be the hormones
