Like everyone else, I'm so glad that I found this site. I've been taking YAZ for 9 months and everything was fine/normal for the first 4 months. I didn't have any side effects, mood or weight changes. However, my arms/legs were painful when I slept at night about 5 months ago. I didn't pay too much attention but then I noticed that I started getting some celliute on my upper thighs/butt about 4 months ago. Still, I though it was just a sigh of aging and trying to put on creams etc to smooth it out....... However, after a month or two later, I started getting spider veins (just a few at first) on my upper legs/thighs and that really freak me out because I've never had anything like that before. I tried to think what was going on until I checked out this website. All these might be caused by YAZ.
In addition, taking Vitamin C supplement might worsen the situation. You can find more information under drug interaction section in the following website:-
(http://www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/monographs/drug_search.jsf).
"drugs that may increase blood levels of this drug (e.g., acetaminophen, ascorbic acid/vitamin C, atorvastatin, azole antifungals such as itraconazole/ketoconazole/vaginal miconazole). "
I don't know how this affect other people but I got more ugly spider veins since I started taking a supplement which contain Vitamin C about 3 weeks ago. I just stop taking that today and I will stop YAZ all togeter after I finish the cycle.
Please do pay more attention to your body and think twice before taking YAZ ....
