Dyazide and pmdd

Shortly after beginning Yaz, I began getting dizzy at random, messy vision, fainting spells and an arrhythmia. I spent 2 days in the hospital and none fo the doctors attributed any of the side effects to Yaz, but that was the only new thing in my lifestyle. I also had been having incredible abdominal pain in the upper right area where my liver is. I have always been incredibly healthy and I started taking this to help the PMDD. Instead I am afraid that I have a frigging pending stroke coming my way or blood clot hiding in my brain making me pass out. Im scared and incredibly angry that all I did was try to get some help and instead had my life and my family's well being threatened. I am fighting to get an MRI on my head just to be sure nothings in there. I know I sound paranoid but suddenly getting an arrhythmia and passing out at random is scary. I am afraid to hold my daughter because If I faint, she'd get hurt. Another thing is at the beginning, I would dry heave a lot, but my doctor kept telling me to stick with it. She is STILL telling me this. Im stopping it tonight and joining a class action suit.

I have been taking Yaz for six months now, and I'm stopping after I finish this pack. I've been on it this long because I thought at first the side effects caused by it were just the beginnings of aging for me (I'm 25), but the acceleration of my problems has been so noticeable that I can't be in denial any more! Basically, here's what I have:

-thinner hair that comes out more easily and doesn't grow back as fast (it would be nice if this were restricted to "unwanted" hair, but this actually includes my eyelashes, eyebrows and head hair, which have all gotten noticeably lighter and thinner)

-CELLULITE, which I never had before...not only on my thighs but on my bum and CALVES, I didn't even realize it was possible to get cellulite there!

-spider veins on my upper thighs, again, never had this before

-very decreased sex drive

-thinner skin with less elasticity

-memory problems

-much increased vaginal discharge

Now, it's not all losses...my boobs are bigger when I actively take the pills, and my skin has become less acne prone...but is all that other stuff really worth it??? I think not.

I don't have a side effect to report, but I have read all of your responses. Over all they are 95% negative. The only thing I am wondering, is WHY you chose Yaz to begin with.

I have been thinking about taking Yaz to help with my severe PMDD. If you don't know what that is, basically it's like the moodiness side of PMS times 10. I am euphorically happy normally, lol, kind of like how happy a cocker spaniel is when their family gets home... except I don't piddle on the floor. About 5 days before my period starts I go into a very deep depression, I bloat, I am irritable, and my entire life suffers. I cry (wail is more like it) for absolutely NO reason... blah blah blah. But once I am about 2 or 3 days into my cycle it all passes and I am back to chipper me.

Long story short, I heard Yaz is supposed to be amazing to help stabilize emotions in people like me. How many of you started Yaz just as birth control, or as an acne control? How many of you took it for PMDD and it STILL didn't help?

I started taking has two weeks ago and I feel like crap I've never been so tired in my life, I do not recommend this pill if you have toddlers running around I have huge headaches and I've had my period for a grand total of ten days something doesn't feel right ladies listen to your bodies if it doesn't feel right most likely it is not good for your well being this tax pack is going in the trash.
