I'm on Yaz. Like you, I just about fell over at the shock of the price! My GP normally warns me when something isn't on the PBS - he didn't tell me, and I got two other scripts at the same time (pension concession, so $5.60 each) and was absolutely gobsmacked at being asked for $80+...

But... I have to say I am LOVING the 24/4 set up with it. I was previously on Dianne, and while it was ok, I would either have very painful periods if I didn't skip every second one, or very heavy periods if I did. So we switched to Yaz.

I've also found that with many other pills I get horrifically depressed. Less so with Yaz.

And best of all... with Yaz, I actually have a libido. Every single other pill I've ever been on has seriously squashed my libido to the point of it being non-existant (sometimes even making sex seem repulsive), so this is a fantastic change for me.

Shorter, lighter periods and feeling happier and more interested in sex. Worth the $70 for three months in my mind!

Next time I get it, I'm going to mu usual discount pharmacy rather than just the one that's most convenient at the time, and hoping that I won't have to spend as much.
