I am here b/c I've been having crying spells with very light (at first no) periods. I've been on Yaz for about 4-5 months and I don't know if it's causing it. I've reviewed my life and don't really have any particular reason to be crying... great family, good life, good job, etc. so... why the crying. I'm here trying to find out if this might be a side effect. The good side? I'm not as irritable as I was before YAZ, while taking Ortho-tricyclen.

A lot of patients who take drospernone based products like Yaz and Yasmin experience extreme mood swings and moodiness. Switch to something else and you may be much happier.

Just don't let the doctor insist its you or perhaps an underlying condition....that's always the excuse when drugs cause bad reaction.

ya, what you are experiencing is normal. The lighter periods are meant to help you while being on yaz...mine were only one or two days and very light. The emotional spurts are from the extra estrogen thats being pumped into your body, but yaz actually has one of the lowest amounts so its probably better than being on other pills. I have also tried ortho tri cyc lo and it didn't work well for me either; I was much more unstable and crazy. Plus, you shouldn't gain weight on yaz...other than being hungry at first sometimes, but it is supposed to actually help with that.
Try to be positive, and recognize when you are acting irrational...and though its hard, I have found it helpful to just be aware of it and to be prepared to change the way I act if I'm acting from incorrect emotions.
