can yaz cause depression?

I was just wondering if anyone else has experience their depression worsening or becoming more of a problem after starting yaz..I'm wondering if the two are connected or am I'm suffering from PPD......I've been diagnosed for years with depression and now it seems like much more of a problem.

The answer is yes! Yaz can cause depression to worsen. I also suffer from major depression but find that I only felt bad the week before my period. I was happy to find a birth control pill that would help with depression during my period. However, I notice after talking yaz that I felt more depressed and had more anxiety then before. I had extreme mood swings and crying spells while taking yaz. I stopped yaz for a month then started it again. I also had the same symptom after starting yaz again. My doctor change my birth control bill back to Ortho Tri- Cycle Lo this month.

What is Yaz?

I was on Yaz for a few months, it is the DEVIL! I had anxiety attacks, mood swings, depression, terrible yeast infections, and trust me the list goes on and on and on. I found a forum on here talking about Yaz and over 250 women replied to it and ALL of them had horrible issues with this birth control. Please get off of it ASAP. You'll feel much better, I promise!
