will this go away?

Question

i just started taking the birth control pill "YAZ" for my PMDD and to help regulate my heavy and abnormal cycles (i had my tubes tied in 2003). my cycle just ended this past sunday so the symptoms of the PMDD should not be present but i've noticed that i feel irritable,moody,and weepy. could this be because my body is still trying to adjust to the new pill and the hormonal changes?

i've only been on the pill for 4 days now and in the past-my PMDD symptoms usually went away after the 2nd day of my period. my period was stopped by the pill yesterday but i started spotting again today (which i know to be normal).

if anyone is taking this pill and could give me some insight it would be great!! i want to know that eventually these depression-like symptoms will go away-i know i don't have depression and the pmdd should go away once my body is used to the pill

thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

When I took Yasmin for 6 months last year the first thing I noticed in the first few days on it was that I would start to cry and for no particular reason. I had other problems adjusting to it before finally things settled down. After 6 months I had to stop for other reasons.

You mentioned that you had your tubes tied in 2003 and something I found out from some friends who have had it done is that this procedure can also affect one's moods.

I would recommend getting in touch with your dr to let them know what's going on and see what they think could be going on.

Answer 2

yeah usually the pill doesn't take effect for about a month...just give it until next month. im on the pill and i still have mood swings but they are not as severe as they used to be.
