"this was my first experience with birth control. from a physical side it was great, lighter, shorter periods and no side effects. but it turned me into a miserable, emotional mess. almost ruined my relationship with my mood swings, neediness and constant breakdowns. it took a long time for me to begin suspecting yaz, and it was only when the pharmacy was out and gave me yasmin instead that my suspicions were confirmed, i am 100 % happier and more emotionally stable now."
