that pill was terrible for me. I was a complete emotional mess on it, and felt like I had the flu.

Me too! 6+ years ago my GP was eager to put me on Yasmin when I requested the pill for birth control (wasn't yet aware that I had endo). Within a week I was a train wreck -- I remember sitting at my desk at work, staring out the window & actually feeling myself slip into a depression. Immediately came off it & began to do some research...which led me to believe that the pill is to blame for SOOO many unhappy/depressed young women who strike out on their own in college & seek BC. Am certain I fell into that category...couldn't wait to get on the pill, but once on it, spent my first year of colleges in tears, though I thought it was b/c I missed my hometown honey so much. Darn pill!!!

Uh, yeah, BC and depression can often go hand in hand! If I recall, we have a whole thread dedicated to it. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.

I know, I felt like an idiot when I finally GOT IT. I roll my eyes and shake my head...all directed at myself for not thinking to question it back then. If I knew then what I know now...

Yes, if you're having that kind of side effect, talk to your doc!! Of course, rule out any other causes of your eczema flare-up (diary always seems to do it for me) because I'm sure your doc will ask. Have you changed detergents, body wash, etc. that you started around the same time? If you're certain that Yaz is the cause of it, ask for a change!! Eczema sucks.
