I had been taking Yasmin 28 for about 2 years with very little side effects. About 3 months ago, my doctor prescribed me the new version, Yaz. Since then my moods have been very extreme, and I am known as a very mellow, non-moody person! One week I'm very confident, happy and content. The next I'm ready to break up with my boyfriend, criticizing every little thing he does. The week after that, I'm depressed, lonely and very emotional. I'm in the middle of my pack now so I will have to finish it up, but at least I am aware and I will try my best to control my moods this month (mind over matter as they say). But I will definitely be switching prescriptions.

virgo77 -- I had the EXACT same experience with Yaz. About a year ago my doctor tried to switch me from Yasmine to Yaz. It was awful. By far, the worst experience I've ever had with a birth control pill. I was a complete basket case! The week of my period, all I could do was cry uncontrollably for no reason. It was like by compressing my period into two days (instead of the normal five; I think that's one of Yaz's hallmark's) it also compressed my PMS all into two short days and I literally short circuited. I switched back to Yasmine after that. So don't worry, your post was all too familiar to me, it's not just you!

I thought that I was the only one going crazy! I've been taking Yaz for almost a year and even before I started taking it I was an emotional mess. I was taking Ogestrel at first then my boyfriend and I thought that Yaz would help with my emotions. The first month it did seem to help me out, but the months after that it seemed like I was back to my emotional self or maybe even worse. My boyfriend and I got married a month ago and instead of it being a honeymoon every day, we're always having fights that I start for littlest things and I've lost my sex drive. I think I too should start taking Yasmin.
