Thank you so much for doing this. I have been on some form of Yaz for almost a decade now. I’ve switched between several generic versions. Most recently, I was put on Gianvi birth control and I have experienced anxiety attacks (never have dealt with these), crying fits, and several other emotional issues. I’m not positive that the BC is the culprit, but the timing lines up very well.

I talked to my Dr. and she has put me on a different generic, one created by Glenmark Pharmacy. I have compared the brochures and they are nearly identical. I guess my question is this:

Are there differences in generic forms of same name brand of birth control? Is it a possibility that this new generic version will affect me differently?

I’m also on birth control for acne. Are there other pills that will help keep my acne under control besides Yaz?

Thank you so much! I think I will try this new generic pill and if the problems are still happening I’ll look into different options.

Yes, I have heard similar things about the fillers. I thought I might read some information about the fillers being used in the information pamphlet but had a hard time finding them. Thank you for this insight!
