The only plus-side of this drug is that it's kept me from getting pregnant. Otherwise, out of the 5 or 6 other brands of BCP's I've used over the past 15 years, this is by far the worst one for causing unwanted side-effects.

The only plus-side of this drug is that it's kept me from getting pregnant. Otherwise, out of the 5 or 6 other brands of BCP's I've used over the past 15 years, this is by far the worst one for causing unwanted side-effects. My body feels awful - it's almost as if I have the flu. I'm achy, exhausted, continously sleepy, and my sinuses stay congested (my allergies have gotten worse). Plus, my fingers and ankles have stayed swollen, and I've felt bloated in general. A massive increase in my appetite has caused me to gain 15lbs in 1 month, and I also feel emotionally drained and depressive. I'm usually a pretty chipper person, but for the past 3 weeks on this drug, I've had the urge to cry for no obvious reason on a daily basis. Plus, it's destroyed my sex drive, so on that note, the need for birth control hasn't even been an issue! Thus, I'm switching back to my old pill, Ortho Novum 7/7/7 after I finish out my current pack of Yaz.
