I was on Yasmin for the last 6 months before this one. My doctor was out of the Yasmin and gave me Yaz to try. After being on Yaz I have finally realized something. While I was on Yasmin I could NOT stop eating. I would eat a full dinner and then ten minutes later, even though I knew that I was full.. would go into the fridge and eat something more.. and then an hour later.. and so on. I have gained about 30 lbs. I just thought it was some weird depression I was having since I am slightly depressive anyways. Well.. now that I am on the Yaz....I feel completely different.. I do not have the out of control urge to eat, eat, eat. Finally I feel normal again. I am also not bloated with my stomach sticking out like before.. so I don't feel so disgusting physically. The Yaz is having its own little side effects...but for now I am doing a "wait and see." This is because they put my on Yasmin to help me out because I have a high testosterone level and it is supposed to not increase that like the other pills do.. it uses a different kind of androgen.. I definitely do NOT want to go back to the normal testosterone pills since they cause my testosterone levels to surge over the "normal" limit. Sigh, hopefully Yaz will work.
