Yaz and anxiety

I have always had anxiety issues during PMS, but now that I am getting older, I experience anxiety outside of PMS. I'm sure it's hormonal and I hear that Yaz helps alleviate anxiety. Has anyone on Yaz noticed that it's better controlled?
Thanks!

I have also noticed more anxiety in my daily life as i get older. Stomach turning anxiety at times, more than i've ever had before. I was last on loestrin 24 and anxiety was much better, but had too many other issues. i just atrted Yaz about 2 weeks ago, so it's hard to say. But I don't feel any more or less anxious than on the last pill. So all seems good so far. I can let you know when I'm further along if anything changes

Hi, I have really severe PMS/PMDD and I have been on Yaz for almost 3 months. It has made a huge difference in my life. I no longer have the anxiety I once had. It is not gone, but it is 98.9 percent gone! I also take a low dose anti-anxiety med that I have been able to cut back on since I have been on the Yaz.

Best of luck to you. The Yaz has been a life saver for me :-)

Thanks Marcella, this really helps! I am looking forward to talking to my OB/GYN about it in Jan. Thanks again!
