I have been on Yaz now for about 4 months. I was put on it in hopes to regulate my hormones, as I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. All of a sudden, I feel as though I'm becoming more and more crazy. I have always had anxiety, but since I have been on BC, its only been worse. Before being on BC, I had around one panic attack a year. Now, its around 2 or 3 a month. It is getting ridiculous. This month, I got a cold, then an ear infection, then a sinus infection, then was diagnosed with scarlet fever, and tomorrow I have to go to the doctor to be tested for mono. Throughout all this, I have major mood swings. One minute, I'm depressed. The next, everythings fine. There are some points where everything throws me into an emotional wreck. Even when I'm really happy, I cry! My boyfriend of almost one year is definitely being affected by it all. He doesn't know how to help me - and its making him upset that he can't do anything about it. Everything is all so frustrating, and I don't know how to deal. I can't be off of this birth control, because it is apparently one of the few BCs that helps maintain symptoms and hormone levels of PCOS. I just feel so worn down. This is also my first year of college. My boyfriend and I go there together, so we see each other a lot. He is always there for me, but I feel so bad that he has to deal with me. I don't want our relationship to be ruined over my craziness. Does anyone know if my problems are most likely routed to the PCOS, or the Yaz, or both?! I don't know what to do with myself anymore.
I thinkt hat it's pretty possible that Yaz is causing the problem! I know that a lot of people report serious issues with Yaz, and I think you'd just be another one. When do you think that you can see a doctor to switch birth control? I would recommend doing so ASAP!
