Hi! My daughter is using the birth
control pill YAZ for 11 months now. She
has had increased moodiness the week
before her period. This was not too bad
when she first began to take it. Now, she
is very emotional and moody. Am I reading
into things? Is it just her or does YAZ
seem to heighten emotions for anyone else?

Any form of horomonal birth control can
increase emotions related to pms in women.
It's a common side effect.

Yes, this I know. I want to know if
anyone is experiencing heightened emotions
on YAZ more than while on any other form

Yes, Tried Yaz Posted: 06-26-07 12:37pm
I tried Yaz, my doctor recommended it to
me because it was supposed to be the best
thing out there for Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome. It is also used for acne
treatment and is FDA approved to treat the
emotional and physical symptoms of PMDD.
The funny thing is, my doctor says a lot
of women experience emotional symptoms. I
remember taking my first pill and feeling
the need to just cry which was weird. It
got worse over time. The thing though is
that Yaz doesn’t give any other side
effects and I lost weight instead of
gaining weight which was good. It also
grows you a cup size but that is because
your breasts get tender. My only real
complaint was the moodiness. With all the
horrible bc out there I may switch back. I
am on Loestrin generic and I hate it so
much but my new insurance doesn’t cover
Yaz.

Yaz Posted: 06-27-07 16:49pm
I have been on Yaz for about 6 months
now...switched from ortho lo. Here's my
experience with side effects.
No weight change
No breast tenderness
Isn't causing dryness vaginally
I still have some nausea and sleepiness,
but it got better when I started taking
the pills closer to bed time.
Moodiness level isn't terrible, sometimes
I get moodier than normal, but hey I'm a
girl!!!

i can get super emotional(sometimes not
always) the week before my period
anyway...yaz hasn't done anything to
heighten this i would say...if anything
its actually helped calm me down...i've
only been on the pill for 3 months now but
i like it so far..only thing i'm concerned
about is skipping my period completely
which ive heard some do..i have yet to
experience that and hope i dont..because
i'd flip..
