Children with cancer symptoms and conditions

Glad to find this site! I started taking YAZ this week. I have been crying at the drop of a dime since Tuesday and this morning I was considering seeing my doctor for depression. On my way to work this morning I was in tears so I called in sick. I have not been to work for two days because of fear of losing it in front of patient's families and co-workers. I work at a clinic that treats children with cancer. It's been difficult. Now I know it's not me losing it. It's the pills! I'm getting off of them asap!

I've been taking Yaz for three months and, as much as I'd like to stay on a birth control pill, this one just isn't working. I've been ravenously hungry, and nauseous too. It's been a vicious cycle of eating (to stem the insane cravings), and then vomiting. Yuck. I'm over it. I've read some of the other posts, and I can relate to the need to pee also. I experienced the same diuretic effect, but only for a few weeks during the first pack of pills. I've also had a mild headache nearly every day since I began taking the pill. And I've had sore breasts too. I'm sure there are some girls who can handle Yaz, but I'm not one of them!
