Okay, here's the dirt on my experience with Yaz. After reading several reviews. I was quite terrified to start at myself as I had had bad birth control experiences in the past.

Okay, here's the dirt on my experience with Yaz. After reading several reviews. I was quite terrified to start at myself as I had had bad birth control experiences in the past. Within the first week of taking Yaz 28. I was an emotional wreck. I would cry over the stupidest things like my boyfriend telling me he was sitting next to a new girl at work. It was dumb. I was over sensitive about everything and I felt like absolute garbage. The worst part was my breakthrough bleeding started on day 13 and lasted almost 31 days. It wasn't heavy enough to be worrisome until my period started. I was quite concerned at the amount of blood that I was losing. So I went to the hospital and had to check in. The doctor told me that everything seemed to be normal and besides the excessive bleeding i was healthy and my blood reports came back to clean. since Getting used to a routine of my pack and my periods syncing up every month. I have noticed that the side effects have reduce significantly. I just want to let anybody know who starting Yaz 28 and feels either an emotional cow. It's normal! There were days when I felt depressed. Everything is finally feeling normal and I'm in a relatively good mood, My skin is flawless. And my period Is normal and healthy. If you're just starting with Yaz, and you're feeling discouraged don't give up! It takes about 3 to 4 months to see any kind of change take effect. It's worth it!

Please read this. Yaz has caused me the worst anxiety of my life. I have taken Yaz for 4 months now, recently two weeks into my new pack. I have never been more depressed and on edge in my whole life. I am a 21 year old girl who loves to run, now barely running because my body hurts EVERYWHERE.

Please read this. Yaz has caused me the worst anxiety of my life. I have taken Yaz for 4 months now, recently two weeks into my new pack. I have never been more depressed and on edge in my whole life. I am a 21 year old girl who loves to run, now barely running because my body hurts EVERYWHERE. I recently wen't to the doctor and got all tests done. Nothing was found, but the symptoms have only increased. They gave me muscle relaxers which Yaz also caused me migraines and back aches. I now am off the pill, realizing it causes way more harm than I realized. I am begging all women to not take this pill. It will cause serious issues whether mentally or physically.

I originally took Yaz for acne when I was 12...I have been on it for 8 years and for the past year my sex drive has tanked. It worked great for acne and I didn't gain any weight. I had regular periods. I switched to Junel FE in hopes to get my sex drive back on track..to go from extremely active to not wanting anything at all is extemely unsettling, especially since I am only 20.

I have been on Yaz or a generic for over 10 years now. I have had no side effects, and have not gotten pregnant. I have no period and no breakthrough bleeding. I have no mood swings or acne.
