Yaz and PCOS symptoms

I'm thinking about quitting Spiro because I have just been horribly dizzy... not a good feeling. I have been on yaz for a month. Do you think after taking it for a few months it will help my acne, hair growth, and hair loss without my spiro? I also take metformin, which does not help my symptoms, but helps me feel less irritated when I'm hungry. I took yasmin alone for my pcos for about 3 years. I didn't have any hair loss, my hair growth was under control, and my acne was totally clear. Now my doc wants me to try yaz. Any thoughts?

I think YAZ has the same amount of the unique kind progesterin that Yasmin has, and less estrogen. It's the unique progesterin that acts the same way as Spiro. You should see similar results on YAZ as you did on Yasmin.
