Spotting and mood swings on Yaz

Has anyone heard if other women like the
birth control Yaz-i take it everyday at
the same time, but now after a year i seem
to have had 2 different menses where i
spot a little after each period (usually
after my husband and I have sex). Also
they say that Yaz is supposed to reduce
your amount of bloating and mood swings,
and frankly I think their worse.

Yaz-mood swings

My 18 year old daughter started taking
Yaz. She generally suffers from severe
mood swings during her period and had read
that Yaz might help. Since she started
taking it (about 4 months ago) I feel her
mood swings are worse than ever, although
she never sees it. She cries her eyes out
one minute and then I hear her laughing on
the phone with a friend. She claims she
is depressed all the time, hates her life
and everything around her. I've tried to
get her to switch to something else but
can't get her to. If anyone else is
having similar problems, please speak out
- maybe that will convince her.

Any form of hormonal birth control can
increase moodiness. You need to get a
doctor to tell her this to her face and
tell her to stop and/or forcibly remove
the prescription due to these side
effects.

SOME women have WORSE moodiness or
depression on BC pills.
I DID TOO.
ANTI DEPRESSANTS are often a better
alternative than birth control for many
women.

I wouldn't suggest anit depressents to
anyone that doesn't need them. I had a
horrible experience on them this last
time, and i'm better now that i'm off of
them.

I'm on day 18 of yaz. It was prescribed to
me to help my mood swings, and now they
are a million times worse. I don't know
what to do. Anti depressants didn't help
me either.

Maybe you need therapy, not medicine. It
sounds like whatever it is that isn't
working right in your head is manifesting
as mood swings but is not being caused by
what they assumed was causing it.

Mine mood swings are actually better and
I'm surprised haha. I've been on Yaz for
almost 10 months.

i just started yaz about 2 weeks ago. I
must say this is all comforting to hear,
not the emotional mood swings and spotting
but that these side effects are kind of
normal. I have been spotting for about a
week and half after my period and last
night was, well, something else.
Something I wouldn't call spotting.
Anyway, I am wondering if I should just
stick with it and see what happens, or if
anyone has a better prescription birth
control because this one is a huge let
down.

i've been on yaz for just over a year
now...i will say that for the first 2-3
months I HATED it...I got random dizzy
spells, headaches, spotting during the
first month, but after the 2-3 months my
symptoms subsided(as the pamphlet said)
and now I love it, I dont think its really
done anything for mood swings though
honestly..i still get crabby and get the
bloated feeling before...BUT..i'm thrilled
that for the first time in my life my
periods are REGULAR! and definitely not as
heavy or long...so yaz has been good to me
