"i took yaz years ago, without issue. i don&#039;t know if it&#039;s my body aging or what, but when i started taking gianvi (generic yaz) 4 months ago, the depression/anxiety/anger side effect is just too much. i&#039;m quitting. 

i have read that the synthetic hormone in this bc, drospirenone, can cause depression. for me, it&#039;s been dramatic. every month about 5 days before my period, i cry uncontrollably and get irritable and angry for no reason. i&#039;m dead-eyed depressed and feel lethargic at times. also, i have zero sex drive and cannot climax when i do. i am not myself, mentally or emotionally, and it&#039;s just not worth it to take this pill any more. 

if you are prone to depression, do not take this."
