I posted yesterday a response to a message from another woman. I have stopped birth control before and it caused me to begin my menstrual cycle early. I had been thinking about not taking YAZ anymore as I was convinced it was making me feel crazy and not myself. I felt out of control hormonally and that my brain and emotions were not connected. I was very moody and would be come depressed and anxious for no reason. I also felt like another person both physically as well as emotionally... I was exhausted all the time and felt like I lost my self confidence. I felt I was missing out on my life. I stopped taking the pill last night. I will let you know what the side effects I have experienced are. I am calling my DR. this morning to check to make sure I am not putting myself at risk by stopping the pill. I think I am doing the right thing for me. I think it would be best to call your Dr. and ask. Also item to note: YAZ is used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble concentrating, lack of energy, sleep or appetite changes, and feeling out of control. PMDD can also cause physical symptoms such as breast tenderness, joint or muscle pain, headache, and bloating or weight gain. I feel like this describes my symptoms to a tee.

Hi I read your bulletin and wanted to say that i too am experiencing the same symptoms! I was only wondering if you knew how long the pill will stay in your system once you have stopped? I feel like my Doctors dont believe me when i say my symptoms are BC related. How did you go about going off the pill? Thanks for sharing your story it's great to know that other people are going through what you are too, and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks!!

I just read your post and wanted to comment on what you said about Yaz and PMDD, and you fitting the symptoms of PMDD perfectly. You also said that you felt crazy while you were on Yaz. As a psychologist, I can tell you that PMDD can easily be confused with many other disorders such as depression and anxiety. Unless your symptoms only occur in the week, or sometimes two weeks, preceding your period, you may not have PMDD, but instead be dealing with something like clinical depression or anxiety that will not be helped by the pill. In people with depression and anxiety, the pill can often cause these conditions to become worse. You may want to discuss this with your doctor, or get an evaluation by a mental health specialist. I hope this helps.
