I was recently put on Yasmin, I've just finished up my first pack...

I was put on Yaz for PMDD and also take prozac 5mg for 14 days a month. Yaz worked great at first. Really helped with the mood issues. (I WAS REALLY BAD). But then I started to get terrible leg pains, dizzy spells and headaches. Also I would get a heartburn type of feeling in my chest. I went to the doc and he said I was fine, it was stress from my wedding coming up. Well after 5 months on Yaz (was on other pills over 14 years) I decided to stop. I am a mess. The symptoms are worse, but a lot of what I have researched says its the body trying to regulate back to normal. For 14 years I had a synthetic period, now my body is out of whack trying to be natural. Anyway, I read that taking a natural herb called Vitex (you may also see it as Chaste tree or Chasteberry) helps with regulating the female hormones, including moods. I am starting it as soon as my cycle is done. You take it daily except for when you have your period. I also stopped the prozac. After all the side effects Ihave had I dont want to put any chemicals in my body. I really hope Vitex works. I will repost next month and let you know.
