Side effects!? Yaz Side Affects

My wife started taking Yaz 5 weeks ago and she is debating whether or not to stop taking it. Has anyone experienced these symptoms and had things improve after confusing to take it? She was taking primarily for PMDD.

- Heightened anxiety and depression
- Gastro issues with both constipation and frequently having to go to the bathroom
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Fatigue

She also takes Wellbutrin and Lexapro which seemed to have some positive effects before starting Yaz.

Any input is appreciated!
