Ive been taking YAZ for about 4 months now and I have also felt all the symptons everyone else has such as the fatigue, irritability, need to cry and depression. When I told my gyno about the depression, she flippin told me that I shouldnt be feeling that way before YAZ has stuff in it so it would NOT cause depression. I just said alright and thought it was me but after reading all you ladies and everyone of you having the same symptons, I dont know what my doc was smokin. But I had asked other doctors around where I live and some of my friends who are on depression medication and everyone said for just the depression... taking the Vitamin B-12 helps relieve the depression. So about a month ago I went to Target and for $3 or 4 bucks, I got 100 tablets of the Vitamin B-12, you take it once a day and with a meal and it has helped me not feel as depressed. It really depends on your body and seriousness of depression but at least you could try it for a few dollars... it's worth it, you're worth it. Hope this helps!! ;-)
I took YAZ for two days and didn't realize there were any side effects since I had taken pills many years ago and never had any side effects!..anyway, I started taking them and had MIGRANES AND NAUSEOUS. Felt as tho I was going to vomit but held back doing so....My migranes and nauseous were so bad that they woke me up the two days I was on it...I called the doctor's office and pharmacy, both of which said they were totally shocked and only heard good things about YAZ and said I probably had a bug...a bug??? Today is the first day I am YAZ free and I am back to myself...I hope people read this before going on it....just so you know what to expect.
Thanks for reading!!!
Thanks for reading!!!
I'm so glad to read everyone's comments on this birth control pill. I was really excited to start Yaz when my doctor recommended it but now in my first week of the 4th month I am completely miserable. My sex drive was that of a normal 33 year old before taking the pill and that is completely gone. I have been experiencing very blurry vision, constant fatigue and dizziness. I have noticed a complete lack of being able to feel any emotions other than sadness or anger. I'm calling my doctor today to hopefully get switched, does anyone have an alternative they recommend that is low estrogen?
I started taking yaz abt 6 months ago and it worked at first but within the lat month it's gone all wrong. I've been bleeding everyday for 1 1/2 months and my hormones are all crazy.Im getting off this soon. why????? arghhhh

I have only been on yaz for two weeks.I am bleeding every day.Horrible cramps.I feel angry out of control.Worst of all I have zero sex drive.I feel no pleasure.Migraines every day.I'm trying to tough it out but it's only been two weeks what else will happen to me?I feel pregnant.Out of control cravings.
I am so glad I found this site. My doctor also told me that my symptoms were not being caused by the Yaz. I have been having excruciating headaches, muscle soreness and extreme fatigue. My sex drive is completely gone and my husband and I seem to fight over silly things like meatloaf since I've been on these pills! Also I don't feel any emotion other than being sad and crying. I can't feel happy and it's making me crazy. I guess I'm not the crazy one and it really is the pills.
o.O
I was seriously thinking I needed to consider anti-depression medication before reading these posts. I'm so glad to know that after 37 years of life I'm not loosing control of myself. I have been on Yaz for 3 weeks and have been uncontrollably irritable, had daily headaches, and cry at the drop of a hat. My boyfriend can't say or do anything right. I’m off these pills! I am glad however, that I didn’t have the low sex drive side effect :-)

Wow, I'm definitely glad to read that I'm not the only one who feels like they're going crazy taking YAZ.
I've been on it for about two and a half weeks and I feel like a completely different person.
I'm constantly angry at everyone, including my boyfriend who's in the military (not so fun for either of us) and my mother whom I've been constantly annoyed by.
I have no sex drive at 19.
And I have been completely exhausted 90% of the time.
I woke up this morning with a terrible headache and then started what seems to be my period, and I still have a week and a half left of my YAZ pack.
Needless to say, I'm done with it.

I was on Yaz for a month and a half. I started taking it for skin care but became a different person after being on it. I had severe mood-swings, uncontrollable crying, picking fights over nothing, extremely tired, frequent headaches, none of which are characteristics of me. I realized this might be related to Yaz and as soon as I discontinued using the pill, I was completely fine and back to normal.
This may not be true for all, but Yaz made me crazy!

I took Yaz for about 10 days, and I wouldn't stop bleeding. That has never happened to me so I just stopped taking it. I bled for two weeks. Now, it has been almost 6 weeks since my last period started (when I started Yaz). This never happens to me either...something's wrong with this pill!!!!
I have notice a very low sex drive, after reading about yaz, that's the probelm. My main reason for taking yaz was to control my acne ,which it has done a great job, BUT has made my sex life a nightmare
This site is very helpful. after reading several of the entries and hearing my husband come home and tell me of a co-workers wife's research on Yaz, it opened my eyes. I have had several symptoms since starting it a few months ago that i could not explain and my doctor ob/gyn would say it was nothing.
I have experienced extreme fatigue, headaches, dizzyness, nausea after taking the pill, bleed in for almost 2 months or not bleeding at all for several months. I have been extremely emotional and have lost desire to do most daily activities and find myself sleepy all the time to the point of reaching "numb" sleep all of the time.
If any one else can help ith any other symptoms or what they have done or recommend another oral contrceptive please le me know!

Hi everyone,
I'm just about on my 4th pack of YAZ. The only major problem I'm having with it is my breast size. They are huge!! I was a 34 B when I started and now my 34 C bras are getting too small. I was excited about this at first, but my breasts are SO sore and I'm afraid that they're not going to stop growing. Does anyone know if this will eventually taper off or will they continue to grow? Please help. I have an appt. with my Dr. on Oct. 8th, but I'm hoping that I won't have to switch...any advice?

Just started taking them Tuesday. I've been soo emotional. I thought it was just me, I've been crying every day this week. Not myself. I'm getting off of them asap.
I've been on YAZ for seven months and I guess I'm just the lucky one because it has worked great with me. I had major PMDD and it has totally gotten rid of the horrible cramps that had me in tears and kept me in bed and the mood swings...ugh...I can't even begin to describe how bad those were before I got on YAZ. My girlfriend did not even want to be around me right before my period because I was such a *witch*.
The only bad side effect that I have had from YAZ is breakouts. Like they are not bad, just a couple of pimples here and there. Anyone else have breakouts on YAZ?
