I stopped taking generic yaz after a year

Meds/Supplements

I was on it for a year and everything was fine up until the debilitating anxiety accompanied by panic attacks. my skin cleared up despite still dealing with chin hair. my sex drive decreased and made sex less enjoyable for me. i started having pains more frequently in my ovaries which i believe were cysts. i gained about 20 lbs in a year as well. the anxiety and panic attacks were the worst symptoms out of all, i’ve developed a fear or blood clots and have to convince myself everyday i don’t have them (health anxiety), i even had to quit my job my panic attacks from stress were so bad. so last night i made the decision to quit mid pack as i can’t live like this anymore. did anyone else diagnosed with pcos have a similar experience? i’ve only heard good things which is why i tried it but i know it effects everyone differently.
