 Posted: 03/08/08 - 21:33 Post subject: Yaz side effects, will they go away? |
  |
|
I'm 27, 125 pounds... I started taking Yaz one month ago. I had to beg my doctor to give it to me. My periods were so heavy and I was carrying 10 pounds of water weight at all times. My fingers and face was swollen with water. My periods would last sometimes the entire month and were super heavy. I tried several different pills and nothing stopped it. Immediately when starting Yaz I stopped bleeding. I peed for like 4 days straight and lost all the water weight. I also get migraines with my period, and Yaz hasnt seemed to help them at all. The first 3 weeks I had horrid migraine.
The most noticable change though is that I am extremely emotional. I got angry for the first time in maybe 2 years? I never feel anger. I'm a buddhist very calm loving and patient... Since taking Yaz I feel like a crazy person. I have almost destroyed my wonderful amazing relationship by being overly emotional. Ive been anxious (never had anxiety before) and depressed and super emotional and inpatient about everything.
I still haven't decided what to do. It's only been one month and physically I feel better as far as not bleeding for months at a time and not holding water. I also feel like I have a normal amount of energy and the headaches that initially were there have subsided. I am horrified if I keep taking this pill though that i will lose my emotional calm and optimism. It's definitely not worth it especially what its been doing to my relationship and my spiritual practice.
Is there anyone that can offer any light to my situation? I love the way I feel physically, but emotionally I cannot do this much longer. Will it stop? Any thoughts would be great, thank you. |

| Not sure what to tell you about the long period, but there is a whole forum battling anxiety/depression from being on the pill and after the pill. Get off now before your stuck with months of these emotions not knowing if there is going to be an end to all these emotions. It's been four months and i'm still not my old self. I'm 27 too |

I too am ok with the physical side effects but the emotional ones are awful. I looked and looked for somewhere on the web that would tell me that my sudden emotional craziness is normal. I have been taking Yaz for 2 weeks. Will continue for the whole month but I don't know how much more I can take it! I am a very laid back person and am not used to feeling this crazy. I am impatient and snappy as well as very emotional.
Help! Does every woman get this side effect?
