Wow. This is all very interesting. I too thought I was crazy. My symptoms started with a resp. infections, (which I just now read is a side effect, I read this on the Yaz site), then the rash from head to toe. I had shots of cortisone and took predinozone. Very dizzy, high blood pressure, and the ANGER!!! I am mad at the world. I took it for one month, and wanted it to be the birth control for me, but my husband has taken them away from me and thrown them away. So I will continue to look for alternative BC.
