premenstrual dysphoric disorde
"Yaz gave me my life back.  Before I started taking it, I had reached a point where I just couldn't imagine living the rest of my life with the upheaval caused by PMDD.  While it doesn't take 100% of the symptoms away, it makes life livable again.  I had to stop taking it for a month, recently, because of a prescribing miscommunication, and I was reminded just how much it does help, and how much my quality of life declines without it.  The drawback, however, is the cost.  My insurance does not cover it, and the cost steadily increases.  It's an awful catch-22, to need something so badly in order to be able to fully live one's live, but to have to struggle to afford it.  I'm waiting anxiously for a generic to be available!"
