I’ve been prescribed the contraceptive pill Yaz for severe PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoria disorder). I started taking it today but I’m a bit nervous considering all the horror stories I’ve heard about strokes, embolisms, gallbladder removals, etc.

Is there anyone here who takes it and is fine? Looking for reassurance as I am desperate to stop my periods but obviously don’t want any serious side effects from the medication!
