Yaz making depressed, any ideas?
| Wed, 12-06-2006 - 2:53pm |
I began taking Yaz bc pills three weeks ago and have been depressed ever since. My health care provider said it might take a while for my body to adjust to the hormones, and was in disbelief that Yaz could cause me to feel depressed. I am a counselor by trade and am feeling most certain this pill is the cause & I just don't think I can wait another month and a half to find out if this pill is going to work for me. The crying spells are nearly unbearable.
Are there other low-dose pills that are working great for others? I am suseptible to depression, and would like some low-dose alternatives.
Thank you for taking the time to respond!

I was on Yaz for a few months. Although I didn't experience the depression you're talking about, I had these crazy leg cramps so my doctor switched me to Loestrin 24/FE. I hated the thought of switching because I had finally gotten used to the first one, but I really haven't had any trouble with Loestrin. No weird mood swings, no leg cramps, less breast tenderness than on Yaz...I had a little break through bleeding the first month, but then my period lasted only one day! It's very low dose, so it might be worth a try.
Good luck! It's crazy what a little pill can do to your body, huh?
