Whats the chance for yaz success?
Question:
Answers:
I have been on Yaz for a few months and I love it! It has relieved my symptoms and I have not gained weight. I know many women who have success with it as well. I highly recommend it.
Yaz is fast becoming a popular form of birth control and a treatment for PMDD. There's a press release that came out a while back that discusses Yaz:

I was dx'd with severe PMDD 4 years ago, after suffering a very severe case of PPD after my 5 year old daughter was born. I was on so many different antidepressants for the PPD, but when the PMDD came along, NOTHING helped it. It was a really desperate time for me. I was suicidal every month.
I knew that this was PMDD after reading a bit about it. I wasn't having normal PMS symptoms, everything was so very intensified. It's really a feeling of PMS times a million.
Back in October I began taking Yaz birth control, which has literally saved my life. I no longer take the other meds, except for an occasional Ativan for anxiety.
Here is an article about my personal experience... I warn you, it's quite intense.

I wish you all the best, I hope that the Yaz works for you. I belong to a PMDD board online, and there are quite a few women on the board who take Yaz strictly for their PMDD and have found it to work. One of my friends had to quit using the Yaz, unfortunately, b/c it was worsening her migraines. But while on it the PMDD was definitely under control.
