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.

Comment:
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 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.
