premenstrual dysphoric disorde
"I used ortho-tri-cyclen-lo from 16-18yo.  My periods were easy without any side effects.  By mid 18yo I was experiencing painful and heavy periods, with strong emotional swings.  My emotions became unpredictable, extremely reactive, and at times I experienced deep depression and strong suicidal thoughts - completely contrary to my personality and traits.  My parents requested I leave university, until that night we read about YAZ studies. YAZ was the ONLY birth control with proven study results showing YAZ helps to control PMDD, which described exactly what I was experiencing.  YAZ was immediately successful. 3.5 years later I am still on YAZ and graduating with a Neuroscience degree. 
P.S. Generic yaz experience was unsuccessful. 03/31/17"
