I know this may not seem like a long time but i was on YAZ for 5 weeks. during this time I had a difficult time getting up and going to class, and I failed 11 out of my 18 credit hours. I had overwhelming angziety. gained 10 lb when i've been at 115 since i was in the 10th grade. On top of it all i am very argumentative. My finance got most of the abuse. Probally the worst thing was my thought to throw myself in front of a car. I did not have any headaches though. and I did not seem to have a period at all. Just some spotting every none and then. But I was not on it long enough to say if it would have leaved out. When i stoped taking it this week everyone noticed a change and I feel 100% petter.
HELLO, I AM 19 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING YAZ FOR 5 MNTS NOW.....JUST RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE WORST HEADACHES EVER AND I GET HORRIBLE CRAMPS IN MY LEGS,SOMETIME I ALSO SEE A LINE ON MY EYEBALL..I FELL SO WEAK BUT I JUST TRY TO IGNORE IT.THEY PAST WEEK I HAVE DRIED EVERDAY THINKING HORRIBLE THINGS.I ALSO GET VERY DIZZY BUT HAVENT PASSED OUT OR ANYTHING...I DONT GET DIFFRENT MODD CHANGES THOUGH.IS THIS A CAUSE FROM YAZ?
I had an IUD for 2 yrs and decided to get it removed because I was getting horrible acne. So upon having it removed I got on Yaz. My husband was going to be getting a vasectomy so I just got three mos. sample from the doc. After a month and a half I quit taking it. I was moody, waking up in the morning and crying at leas tthree times a week. I did not have a period when I had my IUD and when I started using yaz I still have not had a period. To make matters worse my stomach feels like I am three mos pregnant and my breasts are producing milk. It is awful. I have had a blood test to confirm that I am not pregnant. I talked to a nurse and she simply said my body just needs time to get back to normal and so give it 2 more weeks and if no period comes than they wii give me something to make it start. I am also extrememly fatigued!!! Oh yah and I fainted twice while taking Yaz.
So my advice to all women is think twice before taking anything!!!! I will never use a bc ever again!! I think that in the long run you will be doing alot of harm to your body. Use a condom:) Not quite as effective but pregnancy is natural putting all that c**p in ur body is not!!!

i read through this the night before i started taking Yaz and im not usually one who experiences side effects, but ive been on yaz about 3 weeks and i swear ive gained 5 pounds, and im breaking out like you wouldnt believe. not to mention i have zero sex drive and i am so tired all the time. i can barely make it through the day.
the reason i went on it was to help relieve my MAJOR pms issues (cramps so bad i couldnt get out of bed because from my middle back to my knees hurt so bad, uncontrollable crying, breaking up with my very sweet and understanding boyfriend EVERY month) paired with 10mg of vicodin, and my back is still having a hard time.
so good luck to us all, i hope we can all find alternatives.

Oh believe me, you are not the only one. I'm going to call my Dr. today to see if she wants me to try it for another month or switch to something else cause I haven't been able to sleep at all this whole month that I've been on it. I didn't fall asleep till 3 in the morning and woke up just before 6. I dont know how much longer I can take not sleeping cause I'm starting to take it out on my bf and I really dont want to loss him cause he's the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I'm sure if I dont loose him I'm going to drive him up the wall with all my crying for no reason or my getting pissed off over absolutely nothing.
I have been on Yaz for just one month now, and I absolutely love it. I went on birth control to help with the horrible cramps I have been getting since the beginning of high school (I'm a senior). I started my period after I took my last inactive pill, and it stopped the night after. I had minimal cramping, which is a huge difference from the terrible cramps I used to get that were accompanied by dizziness and vomiting.
As for side effects, I haven't had many. I had mild nausea a couple weeks into my first pack, but it wasn't too bad. I know that people react differently to different levels of hormones, but I would recommend Yaz to anyone who is trying to alleviate severe menstrual cramping. It has helped me so much XD

I am a 45 yr old woman recently diagnosed with adenomyosis and PMDD. I was prescribed Yaz and am on week 3 of my first pack.
Hopefully my mood swings will even out some but the big thing bothering me is the breast tenderness.
I have read many very positive Yaz posts on other forums and am hoping it will help with the craziness and extreme pain associated with my periods.
Has anyone had side effects intially but that stabilized after a time on Yaz?
Thanks!

I went to NC to be with my son when he got off the plane from Iraq. I knew my period would be coming about the time I was there and in no uncertain terms did I want to have a period there. I would have been in bed for 2 days or more. At my annual check up I asked my doc to put me on something to help not have a period. He put me on Yaz. I also was concerned with weight gain because I had worked so hard to lose 50 pounds. He said Yaz usually helps women lose weight. So I went on it and it kept me from having a period. Best thing ever for me. While I was in NC I thought that my blood sugar had crashed. I had nausea, sweating, feelings that I would pass out. I passed it off as low blood sugar. Now that I am back home I am having muscle cramps, extreme fatigue, nausea (with weight loss, which is okay) and heart palpatations. I sing in front of people all the time and yesterday I sang for Easter service and when I got done my pulse was way over 120. My chest felt like someone was standing on it and I could hardley catch my breath. I will go off the Yaz now. I don't have time to feel this way.
Has anyone else who had a perfect completion before taking yaz broken out with acne? I have never had a pimple in my life and am almost 20 years old and since starting YAZ I am breaking out everywhere.
I used yaz for a month and I also started on the first day of my period and it got light but continued on until I stopped takin the pill and my light long period went on to a raging waterfall for about 7 days then stopped. im in the miliary so I work out everyday I became weak and tired for no reason. I couldnt handle running normal distances that I could run without a problem before the pill. I lost my appetite barely eating one meal a day and I lost about 5 pds in 2 wks but I was weak so it wasnt worth it. The pill states that it is supposed to clear up acne it made me break out. But the acne wasnt even normal. The pill is just weird thats all I have to say %-)
I've been on Yaz for about 2 months now and i haven't stopped bleeding ever since i got my period the first month....i've been bleeding ever since and now almost done with the 2nd pack. ever since starting i've been so fatigued, low sex drive, feel nauseous at times, and have been feeling really depressed. I seem to be really emotional and want to cry over everything or get angry over everything. Since reading these posts, i'm goint to call the doctor and stop taking this pill. Its ruining my life. :'(
After researching everything else....I decided to check on results of YAZ. Wowzer....your stories explain me. I am 35 and thought I was losing my mind. I am used to having all the patience in the world....Now I feel like I have none. I cry if someone looks at me funny. I have just been out of wack for a while. Thought my depression was just getting worse and needed a different med. I guess I will stop taking YAZ and hope for the best.
I have been on yaz for 3 months now and at first i loved it, then i started noticing i needed a nap everyday, I was so moody my kids even felt it and started acting out. Then i noticed my periods were getting heavier and longer and I started getting cramps which I have never had, with or without being on the pill. Then I noticed I was having a hard time seeing the street signs when i was driving. Now i never gained weight,but i have been doing weight watchers and was loosing 2lbs a week until i started on yaz, in the last 3 months i have lost 2 lbs but i have also added an hour of cardio everyday and never eat out of my points allowance. I went back to my old pills this week since i was just about to start a new pack when i realized all this, So i hope i don't gain during the next few months of being off yaz. So my new weight watchers goal is simply not to gain, and any loss will be total bliss. I do not recommend this pill to anybody, and if you are sensitive to pills ask your doctor about Low Ovral it is the only pill i have been able to take and not be a mess and not gain to much weight maybe 10lbs over the first 3 months, but that was easy to get back off.
I was on yaz for 6 months before I realized that all my "new" bad side effects were being caused by it.
I had been dx with anxiety last month, depression, I gained 10lbs on it, severe fatigue, extreme anger, mood swings. You name it. I was tested for thyroid and every other hormone test out there before realizing it was this horrible drug.
My hair was falling out like crazy, anxiety attacks hourly. I couldn't sleep at night. Had nightmares all the time. Couldn't lose the 10lbs I gained in the first 2 months. I had tremors as well.
Since I stopped taking it just 3 weeks ago I have already noticed improvement and am feeling more like my old self again.
BTW, my testosterone was still normal while taking the pill, so it was not a hormonal imbalance for me. My face would break out and I have perfectly clear skin, I'm 33 and well beyond the pimple days of adolescence.
I had been on numerous pills before. I was on aleese before, ortho lo, ortho and a few others, but they all gave me migraines. Only yaz gave me all the listed symptoms above and more.
I've decided I am better off off the pill period. I think I can handle other means of birth control with my hubby. As well as dealing with irregular periods (became irregular just after my 30th bday, lucky me).
Luckily for me, I realized it before I went bald or ended up in the hospital (trying to make light of the situ here). I am much much better now, no more tremors, I can sleep now, I've lost 3lbs already, I am no longer fatigued and I go back in 2 months for resting again to see how I'm doing. BTW, no more headaches or migraines either. My appetite has gone back to normal too. No more extreme thirst.
I'm telling you, I had so many symptoms I thought I was going crazy. And my mood swings were the worst. It affected my relationship[ with my husband and children.
My T3 tests were even coming back high, thus my dr's thinking I was hyperthyroidism. Luckily I am not.
Think long and hard before going on any birth control.
