Help..yaz/yasmin question!!?!
Question: I have PMDD, so my doctor perscribed me on yaz, i've been on it for about 6 months, and it was working, but lately i noticed, im having a hard time wearing contacts, getting depressed, and fatigue. I don't want to stop taking this because my PMDD is so bad, it makes me have suicidal thoughts and depressed and anxious, i was wondering, since yasmin is pretty much a higher dose of yaz, would that be better for me to take? thanks so much

Yasmin has more estrogen than Yaz, which may actually worsen your depression, depending on its cause. Only a doc can tell you for sure.
If your PMDD is that bad, perhaps you should consider seeing your PCP or a psychiatrist to get an antidepressant prescription.
