Yaz and Herbal conflicts

Jill or anyone else with knowledge.
I'm currently on Yaz (Started month 5 1 week ago) for PMDD. Have started an herbal treatment (given by my Chinese Doctor/Acupuncturist) the last 2 weeks and am starting to have side effects such as slight heaviness on my chest (nothing to freak out about, just feels like alot of stress), slight dizziness and slugishness. I've also recently gone thru a break thru of rage (PMDD Symptom) and breakthru spotting. Curious to know if it's a known that you shouldn't mix herbs w/ a bcp such as Yaz ?
Seems my Yaz worked REALLY well on my PMDD for the first few months. Unfortunately now it's become a bit too much of an ordeal.
Thoughts on the Yaz w/ Herb mix is appreciated.

Hi traines97, welcome back!

Hi Jill,
Thanks for your reply...
So one thing that concerns me is that I would *think* my chinese doc would know the interactions.. But perhaps you are right and he's not savvy about what the interactions are (ugh).. I'm sure there is SJW in the herbs as he was attempting to get me to a calm place and lessen my anxiety... I stopped taking them last night and am feeling a little better.
Yes, most of the chaos has happend recently w/ the herbs. The first few days I felt great.. Then progressively went down hill. Now I need to get the herbs out of my system; I still feel some anxiety etc.
Thanks for your help Jill. Always appreciate it.
