Hi, I've been on Yaz for about a year and a half now specifically to treat PMDD, but I think I need to switch to another form of treatment.
Yaz has worked amazingly, but I have some unfortunate side effects.
In the last year and a half, my vision has moved away from 20/20 and my body is acting like I have hyperinsulinism/hypoglycemia (I cannot go without food for more than 14 hours without starting to black out, get dizzy, or start dramatically shaking). The past few weeks, the hypoglycemic symptoms have had me very concerned they might be very dangerous. Both of these conditions are listed as unusual but possible side effects to birth control and, specifically, Yaz.
I am not really in need of the birth control side of Yaz, but I NEED SOMETHING to keep my PMDD in check. I am currently a college student, and both I and my grades would crash if I had to deal with PMDD again.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to other forms of treatment for PMDD? Any success with anything else?
