New generation symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Yaz for about 4 months now and although I have had super light and really short (two day) periods, I feel like it is really making me crazy!! I was on Zoloft when I first started the Yaz and literally I was crying, and biting everyones head off for three days - I stopped the Zoloft and felt better but now I am still super moody, crying and really irritable - I was on Micronor before and had no problems but I stopped breastfeeding and needd a new b/c pill so I switched to Yaz. I want to try something else - Anyone tried Loestrin 24??

hi guest 31475,
i do not know what other birth control pill would be better than yasmin as i have only taken dianette (about 10 years ago) and yasmin. a very low dose pill may be ok yasmin seems to have quite high levels of hormones compared to some of the older brands of pills. yasmin is considered a new generation pill so maybe one of the original types may be better. yasmin has not been proven to better than any other brand i think that just because it is one of the newer types it is more readily prescribed. talk to your health care giver about the problems you have had with the artificial hormones and they may be able to recommend a brand. I will not be trying any form of hormonal birth control in the future as i had no idea that something so seamingly simple could have such a detremental effect on my health and my quality of life.
have you considered non hormonal types of birth control? as mentioned below there is a copper IUD and i think there is also a low dose progesterone IUD that does not get into the blood so may not cause the same side effects as oral contraceptives. i don't much about them as i have decided to stick to non hormonal,plain & simple condoms for now at least i know i will not get any side effects from them!

I hope that I can get an answer from anyone or doctor
who can tell me that why doctors still use Levaquian on prescription even if Levaquian has such a serious side effect to some patients. Is it the best antibiotic medicine and the most efficient one among those new generation of antibiotic?
I have Sinusitis and Chronic Pharyngitis, I have used Amoxicillin and it didn't work for me.
My ENT doctor let try Levaquian. But I am allergy to Clindamycin and Sulfonamide. In other words, I am very sensitive to medicines. Therefore, I am afraid of taking Levaquian. (I have not tried it yet). But I like to know if I must take it or in other words there is no any other medicine that I can use for my Pharyngitis.
