I lasted just 20 days on Yaz. I had a persistent "kicked-in-the-stomach" feeling that just wouldn't go away. This is the kind of stomach pain that makes you want to bend over and not sit or stand up straight. For days which I wasn't even on my period, I had cramping and a backache -- which usually only occur for 1-2 days during my period. So it's like I got to experience the pain of my period most of the month! Finally, I couldn't stand the stomach ache any more, and read the leaflet that came with the pills. Then I jumped online and -- surprise! I'm not the only one experiencing nasty side effects. Thank God I finally figured it out. However, it's been 3 days OFF the pills, and still my stomach has been hurting. And for all that pain, my period is still heavy! I had tried Ortho Tricyclen in the past and had very few side effects. It was NOTHING as bad as this. These are some of the worst pills I have ever taken.

I've been on Aviane for 5 months now, and i haven't had much of a difference from my periods, but i've been getting really sick at night time, as soon as i take my pill i'm usually in bed for the rest of the night, i think Aviane is one of the worst pills out there and i will be changing within the next week

Girls, I am right there with you! Also one of the worst pills I have tried. However, I only lasted a few days vs. a few months like most of you. HORRIBLE migraine headaches from day one, severe nausea, fatigue, and depression. I quit taking them today!

birth control pills in general seem to cause problems with regards to depression and anxiety so it is quite possible that your previous contraceptive caused your depression although an unhappy marriage probably didn't help the situation much. yasmin seems to be one of the worst pills for causing emotional instability,i am not sure why. it seems to affect women that had an underlying hormonal problem before they went on it so maybe makes a hormone imbalance worse..... i'm just guessing really. i used birth control before i had my 2 girls and never had a problem but went onto yasmin after i had breast fed my second child for a year as my hormones were all over the place,within six months i was an emotional and physical wreck. anyway,i am glad that you have come off yasmin and are feeling better,see how you feel in a few months time before trying the anti-depressant route again,you may find that you will get better naturally and also deciding to end an unhappy marriage may improve your depression. my doctor suggested anti-depressants but i never took them and now i have been off yasmin for 4 months i am glad i didn't as i am clearly not depressed at all it was just the artificial hormones causing the depresiion/anxiety/panic attacks and horrible horrible physical side effects. i can't stress how important it is to take a good b complex supplement as well as vitamin B6,magnesium and maybe some added zinc. and drink loads of water,it really does help. good luck with your recovery and really enjoy your time with your daughter,my youngest is now 3,they grow up so fast and i felt like i had wasted so much of my precious time with her through my yasmin induced nightmare.

This in my experience has been one of the worst pills i've ever been on. It caused me to have horrible gas pain through out the month, then if it wasn't that i was always picking fights with everyone, and then crying about it 2 seconds later. I was constantly in an unhappy mood and was either angry or upset for most the day. I would sleep about 10 hours and still be tired when i got up. The pill made my periods worse, i would cramp so bad i'd curl in a ball and fall asleep. It also made my period last longer than usual. I was on the pill for 3 months and couldn't take anymore. I thought it would get better the next month but all it did was got worse each time. I asked many of my friends about their experience with this pill and they all refered to it as the "maniac pill". But it just gave me a bad impression of this pill.
