Hi everyone, I've been off Yaz for two weeks now and have had sev...

hi i am going crazy i feel like i have demons inside of me i have been taking it 9 days which i had a termation the day before & stopped breastfeeding i am so depressed my doc says to stop it & later take it again but the clinic doc says it would make a diffence to my crazy harmones & to stay on it .help

I've been taking for yaz only a week now and I feel like a completely different person. I'm dizzy constantly, irritable, depressed, cranky, etc. This is the first birth control I've taken and many of my friends have told me that it is normal to be feeling this way the first week. I'm not too sure so I will contact my doctor soon. I will most likely switch because I feel completely unstable and unlike myself. -m

I was on Yaz for 2 moths and my boyfriend was noticing alot of bad changes. I was really moody, never in a good mood, i was having cramps, and i was always hungry. It was the worst feelings ever. Well i am now off and ive been off for two months and ever since that i still havent had a normal period. I also had light pink bleeding and im not sure what it was but im concerned. Hopefully things will get better.

I went off Yaz because I lost my labido. It has been two months now, and ever since then I have had horrible experiences with headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, and racing/insane thoughts. I also worry a lot. I am at the point where I don't know myself, and my mind has taken control over me. I am often scared and feel alone. I also feel like I have demons in me! I hope this will all be over soon as I just want to be myself again.

I look forward to responses....

I am the original poster - it's been a year since I stopped taking Yaz because it made me severely depressed and I still don't feel like myself yet. I feel a lot better than I did at first, but still depressed. I eventually did decide to go back on the Loestrin I'd been taking before Yaz that worked well for me, and that was a HUGE help. If I hadn't tried going back on it I don't know where I'd be right now. It's allowed me to stay functional, even though it didn't bring me completely back to myself. So to rissahanson and anyone else who has recently gone off Yaz and is having similar problems, if there is a different prescription that worked well for you in the past, it might be worth a try. If nothing else it might help some.

I wish they would either take this pill off the market or put a big warning on it that tells people this sort of thing might happen. There are so many women out there who have had these exact symptoms from Yaz and Yasmin. (There's a discussion forum at: http://www.createforum.com/yasminsideeffec/) I know it works great for some people, but the risk of all this happening is so not worth it.
