I'm wondering if anyone else who is on b/c notice a difference between brand and generic..? I was on beyaz and due to insurance changes could only be prescribed generic YAZ. Holy difference, I could cry at a drop of a hat for no reason, am super crazy moody and am broken out like never before. The p.m.s. Is like I belong in a padded room, I'm switching back even if I have to pay full price, it's not worth the mood swings. Has anyone else had generic issues?

if I remember right not too long ago Yaz was in the news about such side effects and theres some law suits concerning these and other side effects caused by Yaz.

my suggestion contact your treatment provider. let them know you are having side effects, they can change the dosage or if needed they will have a list of birth control options that are covered by your insurance that you can take safely.

All birth control has side affects. But, i is best to call you doctor office to see if you are able to receive free samples since it is so expensive. Some birth contol companies have sliding fee applications where you can get a discount for thier product of for free. Call you doctor office or google you birth control provide for an application and get you doctor office to fill out.
