polycystic ovary syndrome
"I was placed on Yaz in May and taken off of Sprintec because of extreme joint swelling.  At first, Yaz was great.  I had no complaint's the first month, then the weight gain started.  I have been 120lbs my whole adult life and went to 130lb, within days into the second pack.  By August (just months), I slipped into a depression with extreme hopelessness and could not stop crying.  I also noticed that my skin was getting oily.  I called my Doctor and they placed me back on my old pills.  Within a week, my mood has improved, I'm not crying uncontrollably and my skin is normal again.  The pharmacist stated that women either love Yaz or they hate it.  Too bad it didn't work for me, I am very glad to be off of it."
