OK! So I started taking YAZ. First time for me to be on the pill. it works good, my complexion has cleared a little, my periods are about 2 days, and ZERO cramping! The only problem is that I am now an emotional WRECK! My poof boyfriend, he is SUCH a good man for putting up with me through this time. It's like, I feel insecure, worthless, helpless, restless, and anxious all at once and I have NO idea why, how, or how to act on it. Also, it's not until AFTER I've blown up that I realize that I was acting irrationally and mean. It's like during the time I feel that way, it's like I feel so justified for feeling that way, and that I am SO right, and everything else is just out to get me. Then when I calm down I'm like, what the..?? and the thing is, when I am acting irrationally, I KNOW I am acting that way! I think "I know this might be ridiculous BUT IT'S THE WAY IT IS" Like, I know that I feel irrational but I don't know how to act inspite of my logic! I'm so silly, but I guess what I'm seeking advice for is HOW do you handle your emotions when you feel so strongly, whether you know it's irrational or not?

You might want to search online about that product. Apparently there are a LOT of women who have problems with it. If you need something to help with acne you could also try Ortho triCycline or Ortho TriCycline Lo, which also help with the acne. Ask your doctor. If you find the Yaz to affect you too severely after a few months I would suggest looking for a different product.

Actually in 3 days I start my first pack of Loestrin because my dr. suggested immediately after I told her I had depressing thoughts that I switch to something other than YAZ. Thank you!

Yes this is what I was going to recommend so rather than duplicating may I add that on the new medication you start keeping a daily journal as to anything that you notice unusual as many women have to experiment with several until they find the right one. Good luck to you with this.
