premenstrual syndrome
"I was prescribed Seasonique to combat my premenstrual symptoms. I used to get extremely depressed and suicidal in the few days before my period (while still on BC) so my doctor thought it would be a good idea to have me take 3 month birth control with no placebo pills so I wouldn't have my period. The first month was fine, no huge mood disturbances that I noticed and my face broke out a lot but I was hopeful still for the emotional benefits. After that month, I started getting very depressed and eventually started a full blown horribly heavy period about a month and a half in. I never skipped a pill. After 12 days of my period I went back to the doctor and she put me on Yaz, but this period will not let up, even now at 21 days in."
