Taking yaz is about to ruin my life...I think its Yaz???

I started taking YAZ about 5 weeks ago and I have been so depressed. I have dealt with depression in my past too but I shouldnt be depressed now. I am getting married in like 7 months and am very in love but this last weekend I spun out of control after had been depressed for about a month.I had been thinking it was the stress of wedding planning and weight issues even though I had been losing but now Im convinced it may be these pills after reading tons of the same stories on the internet! Im scared of losing my fiance he has had it with me after this weekend. He says he loves and is IN LOVE with me still but he is holding our pending marriage in the balance since our no sleep episode this weekend...please help!!???

    Why not talk to you doctor? After all you had to see a doctor to get the prescription. Maybe Yaz isn't the right choice for you. There are many other forms of hormone replacement therapy and birth control, you may have to try more than 1 to find what works. For myself I have had to try a few to find the perfect one for all my issues.

    Good luck!

    I take YAZ and I get depressed at times, but I don't think it is due to the BC. However, it does effect people very differently.

    I've had many fights, depression outrages, screaming, etc directed towards my fiance... and he might lash back at me, but he still loves me. Maybe your fiance should try helping you with the wedding planning? Right after I got engaged, I was horrible! I got so over burdened with all the planning (even though I had 8 months to do it) that I just lost it. I've since calmed down and have stuff under control, but perhaps you're just stressed out and it's not the YAZ at all?

    Why don't you stop taking the pills and start talking to your Fi? Seems like the logical thing to do. You have only been on the pill for 5 weeks, I would hope your Fi would be concerned with the sudden change in your behavior. If he's aware of the sudden changes, why would he leave you? Why isn't he asking you what's the matter.

    If he's on the verge of leaving you after only 5 weeks of depression/mood/behavior changes, then maybe he doesn't really love you. Yes, that's harsh. But, it's truthful. A man shouldn't walk away just because times are hard. You have to try working at it first.

    So, stop taking the pills, talk to your Fi and see your doctor.

    You're not alone. I have come SO far to be depressed and here I find myself looking in its ugly face again. Today I had to take a step out of myself and weigh the factors. I realize that I am looking on the Internet to see if other women are feeling this and THEY ARE! YOU are! I think for you and for me and every other woman I've read about on here Yaz is not for us. No, no, no.

    I can't concentrate, I want to cry most of the time, things that are usually simple and not that big of a deal seem way overwhelming, I get weird cramps, I have lost weight so that makes me want to stay on them (haha), and other weird pissy symptoms. So know it is not you, it is the pill! I've realized this today. I miss my normal self and it sounds like you miss yours. Talk to your gyno....I'm calling mine first thing monday morning (and not taking another pill!!!)

    Guys don't understand hormones [well, most don't] but I'd try explaining it to him...or show him some of these other women on here.

    I do hope everything works out well for you.

    I HATED Yaz...It made me a monster for the whole month that I took it, so I stopped and I feel 100x better.

    Take it easy and just relax. The YAZ and the stress of a wedding are enough to send any gilr over the edge but you don't have to let it. Take back control and don't let this thing whip you.:) Good Luck!

    I cant take birth control pills or shot ect ect of anykind or the same thing happens to me. The higher doses gives me horrible migraines and the lower ones do this exact thing to me. ( I was so bad that i threw a sub sandwich across the room and started crying just because it didnt have enough lettuce on it ) lolol its funny now but when i was going through it wasnt. So i had to use alternate means to make sure i didnt get pregnant.... I used the calendar method along with condoms and foams to ensure this until i was sure i didnt want anymore children. Then my hubby got a vasectomy.

    It may be the medicine. Call the doc and switch to something else or have them take you off of it and use other forms of bc.

    As for the fiance. Marriage is for better or worse/ in sickness and in health. If he can't handle one or 2 days of in sickness and for worse than how is he going to handle the ups and downs that occur over a lifetime?

    Talk to your doctor. I was on Yaz and never had any problems, but that doesn't mean it's no the problem for you. If you believe this is what it is, ask your doctor to change your medication immediately (worse comes to worse, they'll have you stay on it until you finish the pack).

    Some people have these issues with birth control pills. Stop taking it and let it get out of your system. Use other birth control until you can see your doctor and talk to them about it.

    Stop taking the pills and go to your doctor immediately. Sometimes some pills don't work for some people and can have adverse affects and cause depression, so your doctor will have to prescribe something else for you.
