I can't believe that I finally found the solution to my problem! ...

Good to know I was noy alone. I experience negative symptoms such as despression with another birth control type sot I switched. At first I was excited. I lost a few lbs, wasnt retaining water as much, and my skin improved. I've been on YAZ for about 6 months now and within the last three I've noticed a major change in my normally pretty upbeat attitude. I cry at the littlest thing,. My emotions are all over the place. I snapped at my boyfriend so much we broker up. i want to sleep whenever I'm not at work. The disturbing thing is, my life is not bad, I really dont have much to be mad about cry about or be depressed about, but my mood doesnt match. i cant controll it. I'm irritable, have little energy, and though usually very social, I don't want to be bothered.

I have had totally the same experience. Depression runs in my family and I am the first person to have missed the mark until i started taking Yaz. I have been taking it for over a year now until just recently i have experienced severe depression, lack of motivation, lack of appetite, severe mood swings, and i just want to cry about everything. i have a long term boyfriend and the lack of sex drive is killing me, i can not get excited no matter what he does and it is majorly impacting our relationship. Until recently i thought it was me but started to do some researching. I realized that i am closer to being back to my own self during the placebo pill days, although i am still feeling like a psycho. Its amazing how much a birth control can change seeing as i experienced no pms prior to taking the pill and only chose yaz because i have mild acne which is the one thing that it has helped with. I cant wait to get off of it and will hopefully try seasonique. wish me luck

holy smokes.
wow.
THE SOLUTION !

i have been so psycho lately with my boyfriend!
and my whole life!
i had no idea why, but now its because YAZ!
