Dyazide and pills

I have been on Yaz for about a year now, and during the last couple of months I have been experiencing HORRIBLE mood swings and absolutely NO sex drive whatsoever. When I first started taking it, the first night I had the worst stomach cramps I have ever experienced in my entire life. I was tired all the time and really irritable. I have just decided to change pills because Yaz has made me depressed, and EXTREMELY moody. My boyfriend has suggested on numerous occasions that I am manic depressive because I'm so up and down all the time... the littlest things set me off into a fit of rage =( Ugh!

My gyno prescribed Yaz to regulate my periods since they were really heavy and lasted over a week causing me to become anemic. The 1st month was alright, I got no side-effects. During the 2nd month on this pill when my period came I had severe cramping, and my periods became even heavier! This time, it lasted over 20 days. Thank god I'm switching pills!

I am at the end of my first pack of pills, YAZ.

I have a condition called Chiari and I also suffer from hormonal migraines. I started getting migraines on Thursday before I was to start my period on Sunday.

The difference is, not only did I get my typical migraines, I also became extremely nauseous. I was violently ill on Thursday night after taking my migraine pills (a common, weekly occurrence). I made it to work on Friday but ended up going straight home at 5pm.

I spent the entire weekend on my couch, with a cold wet washcloth on my face. I used a spray bottle to wet my hair to keep my head cool. The nausea never went away until I actually started Sunday afternoon.
