I think it's making me worse, too. My husband is and OB/Gyn and he thinks I'm imagining things. But....my sister called me when I e-mailed her that I had started taking it and she said when she took my 18y/o niece to the Gyn to be started on Yaz for acne (just before my niece left for college) the Gyn told them she wouldn't put Emily on it for PMS, that it made that syndrome, and depression worse. What are all these commercials about, then? Jeepers!!!

I suppose we're all different. For me who's got PMDD (that's definite and it's genetic so I'm not the first in line in my family to have it, though I might be the first one to grow up in a world that awares it) the Yasmin works wonders. As single pill for my PMDD it works in such ways that I get more stabile in the premenstrual phase and during menstruation it lessens cramps. Afterwards I don't have many problems either with ache.
If I don't take the Yasmin, I am extremely unstable 10 days before, during and at least 10 days afterwards - so I'm not going to stop taking it. But! Yasmin isn't an antidepressant and it doesn't solve any life problems. There's always going to be problems in life and now during the darker time of the year with less daylight and less D-vitamins, less serotonin bla bla - we need to take better care of ourselves and make sure we get enough activity, enough sleep and sound and healthy food pluss a 20-minute amount of daylight (I'm cheating in these rainy times with solarium but it's good enough). Yasmin does perhaps only save the hormonal swings but a man could never have gone through this. Beat me senseless and call me happy - but my husband has a cold and leaves all responsibility to me. I wonder if that's how I'll do it when my time of the month comes. Remorse! ;-) We're all different. If glacier water could make things easier or cure us, we'd be getting prescription for that too... Everyone has to try their way to the right contraceptive when it comes to the hormonal fluctuations I suppose. Good luck. CNA
