I just went onto: http://www.drugs.com/yasmin.html just to see what they had to say about Yaz, (I am no-longer on the terrible thing, see my previous post) but I saw something really scarey on the site, namely: "This medication can cause birth defects in an unborn baby", now I'm sure they are referring to falling pregnant whilst taking the medication, but my concern is that it appears to take a number of month for the drug to leave your system competely once you have stopped taking it, so when is it safe to get pregnant after coming off it??? this is a very very scarey!!!! des anyone have an answer???

Hi, I'm 23 and have been on Yaz since the middle of May and i've been crazy ever since. Im in the middle of my 4th pack and i'm only getting worse. I've had crying fits, days of depression, feeling like I want to die, no libido, mood swings, irritability, snapping at loved ones, anxiety (which i've NEVER experienced before in my life), and restlessness. My gyn isn't in until tomorrow, but I may just call the office today and see if I can talk to someone else. I dont know if it's ok to just stop your pack mid-cycle, but i'm about to just to keep my sanity. Seriously, having "no-worries" sex a few times a week isn't worth feeling like you're gonna go nuts the majority of the time. Birth control pills are such a great invention, too bad they have to make women miserable!!!
