I was prescribed Yaz for short periods as part of preparation (suppression) for in vitro fertility cycles, so I take it 2 to 4 weeks at a time and stop. I have been doing some form of in vitro for 8 years and have experienced all kinds of side effects of hormone surges and crashes, but I have never had as severe depression episodes with any other drugs or birth control pills as I've experienced with Yaz over the last few months with this new doctor who prescribes Yaz.

I feel like I was close to suicidal, crying uncontrollably, feeling like my marriage was over and the world was pointless. I've also had the ear ringing, dizziness and vision problems, but I've had that in milder forms before with fertility meds, I think because they make me retain water which clogs my ears and changes the shape of my corneas. I agree it's more severe with Yaz. i hope it's not permanent, as one of you said it seems to be. I've also had the jabbing headaches behind my eyes, which I'd had in milder form occasionally with some of the fertility medications and hormone surges, but again, much more severe and long-lasting with Yaz.

I googled side effects of yaz and found this post because I felt like I was going crazy and had to see if anyone else was too. I thought I saw ads for Yaz on TV that said it got rid of troublesome symptoms. What misleading advertising! I am also going to tell my doctor that I won't take Yaz again after this.
