Just sarted taking Yaz 10 days ago....Questions. Ladies only, you men will get grossed out!?

Question

I had/have terrible PMS, except now it's called PMDD. Actually I was quite happy to know it had a name and it was worse than regular PMS. I would end my period and then a couple days later all the bad "pre" symptoms would start happening. So I would have about 4 good days a month. The rest of the time I was PMSing really bad or I was actually on my period.

Has anyone tried Yaz for the same thing? I've been taking it for 10 days now and my boobs are SO sore and big and I'm sore and bloated and crabby...just like every other month.

How long do I take this pill to start feeling it work? 1 whole month? 2 months?

I'm so tired of this....

Great info ladies! Thanks. I am certainly NOT pregnant. My husband had the big V many years ago.

I've got nothing to lose. I'm trying that stuff the first responder suggested.

Thanks to everyone!

Answer 1

I suffered with PMDD for years. At first I thought I just had pms and that I was more sensitive than most of my friends, but I did a ton of research and due to my relentless digging, I have found the antidote.

Most doctors will prescribe an anti-depressant such as zoloft for PMDD. I don't like taking any prescription medications if I can help it. They usually take away one symptom and give you 15 more. I take a natural herb with does the EXACT SAME THING as anti-depressants without all of the side effects. It is called 5-HTP.

5-HTP increased the serotonin in your brain and cures PMDD. I can say that I am 99% cured of this horrible debilitating dilemma which damn near ruined most of my life. I still get a tiny bit scatterbrained when I am premenstrual (like I can't think of a word I am trying to say) or still slightly clumsy like before, but I feel like I can be myself now for the ENTIRE month rather than the old Jeckle and Hyde I would become throughout the month. I seriously thought I had multiple personality disorder when I was younger because I was unaware that PMDD even existed. I used to absolutely DREAD the last two weeks of my menstrual cycle because I completely changed into a totally different person. I would do things and say things that I normally would not do or say, and most of the time with serious consequences that I had to live with because I had no control of my condition. I would spend the "good two weeks" that I had each month regretting the mess I got myself into during my last menstrual period. This was my life cycle for at least 20 years. I can honestly say that it doesn't even matter to me anymore when that time of the month is approaching. The only reason I even consult the calendar anymore is not out of dread, but to modify my dosage of the 5-HTP according to what time of the month it is.

I told an aquantance of mine about the 5-HTP and her PMDD cleared up too. This is definitely a miracle herb for this condition and depression alike.

You can buy 5-HTP in capsule form at any health or natural herb store. I find that the "NOW" brand in the orange bottle seems to work the best and is the cheapest. I usually take 50mg in the morning and 50mg at night during my two "normal" weeks. Then at week 3 of my menstrual cycle from day 14 to day 21 I take 100mg in the morning and 100mg at night. From day 21 to day 28 (the worst week) I take 150mg in the morning and 150mg at night. You have to see what works for you. Thank God for this cure, I don't know what I would do without it. Good luck!!!

P.S. The doctors will not tell you about this stuff because it is not a prescription and they don't make any money recommending herbs to people. If you ask a doctor they will most definitely recommend zoloft, prozac, yaz or sarafem (which is a spoofed up feminine sounding name for the drug prozac). I strongly urge you to try the 5-HTP first. It has none of the side effects of the anti depressants that doctors are prescribing and does the exact same thing which is boost the serotonin in your brain. My PMDD is cured due to this stuff and my only regret is not discovering it sooner.

Answer 2

I started taking Yaz about 9 days ago and the only thing I noticed is that I have an increased appetite but now come to think about it I do feel a little bloated...but I figured it was because of my appetite. So far my moods have been ok on it. I took Mircette for about 6 yrs and for some reason my last year on the pill made me feel like I was going insane. It's horrible and people do not understand what hormones can do to a woman. I have PCOS so I am on birth control for that reason but this is my last try with birth control pills and if they don't work I will have to find another type of medicine. I never want to have the mood swings that I had before like I had when I was on Mircette....Good luck. . .You might want to check with your doctor to see if that is a side effect of Yaz or the possibility that you might be pregnant.
