I recently started taking the birth control pill Yaz again while taking supplements for Adrenal Fatigue. When I was not taking Yaz I felt better than I had in years; I lost 20 pounds, had amazing energy levels, was a happier person, and my sleep patterns returned to normal. Fast forward 2 months and I started taking my birth control again (my prescription had expired and I had to wait to get a doctor appointment) and within two weeks I was back to feeling lethargic, suffering from mild insomnia, and cannot lost weight no matter what.

I also began to feel very irritable and have a general sense of malaise... After reading about Yaz and discovering one should not take it with adrenal disease I am searching for other birth control pills I can safely take while continuing to repair my adrenals. Any assistance is greatly aprreciated. I am a newlywed, but have not been able to enjoy anything since going back on Yaz.
