I have been on Yaz for about a week and HATE it. I just got done with microgestin-fe and should have stayed on that pill. I took Yasmin in the past and hated that but my doctor pushed Yaz on me, even after I told her repeatedly how much I hated Yasmin. You see Yasmin caused a large amount of my hair to fall out and it took about 12 months being off of Yasmin for me to see an improvement. But now the past week my hair has started falling out in clumps once again. Has this happened to anyone else?
Also does anyone notice an increase in appetite. Or more specifically food cravings? I am usually very strict/stable with my eating but ever since I've started Yaz I crave junk food and have noticed that late at night I have to eat (usually by 9pm I'm good). I take my Yaz very late at night so I'm assuming this is a side effect. But I read many posts were people have lost weight, I have only been ont he pill for 7 days but with my insatiable eating I can tell I have gained at least 3-5lbs. No matter what I do I can not stop eating.
Besides these side effects I too have noticed the terrible moods (my boyfriend has taken notice too) and oversleeping-like 12 hours a night since I've started......and waking up feeling sooo exhausted.
