yaz isnt unsafe it just has more side effects that they werent aware of at the time. Almost any drug you take can have bad side effects. and you would have to take it up with your doctor or pharmacy for interactions but it shouldnt cause any problems. prego prevention drugs usualy act on hormones and the only hormone that would be effected by depression/anxiety meds is norepinephrine(yes its a neurotramsiter and a horemone) which i dont think has anything to do with the pill

Well Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella are all grouped together. Ocella is just generic for Yasmin. Since I've taken Yasmin I've had emergency gallbladder removal, high triglycerides, insomnia etc... prior to the pill I have healthy with no prob's what so ever. I've since then stopped the Yasmin and have joined the lawsuit against the maker of these pills. I would strongly advise to stay clear of these birth control pills.
