I am new to birth control. Last week was my third week on Yaz. The first 2 weeks on it, I was fine. No real symptoms, but the third week, I began having anxiety (which I have never had before) and my heart would race every now and then. Also, I had a major loss of appetite. I would have to make myself eat even though I felt like gagging. I would try to go to sleep, but the anxiety would be too bad. (I took my pill at 8:00 every night) So, I stopped taking them. Yesterday was my second day off of the pill and all I wanted to do was sleep. (I guess from the lack of sleep due to the anxiety/panic attacks) Today my appetite is slowly coming back. I contacted my GYN and they said they have never heard of those side effects from Yaz...but I looked it up online and there are tons of women complaining of the same thing. They now want me to try Loestrin...which I am very hesitant of. I don't want to get my body back to normal and then start with the same problems again. I am getting married in October and of course we don't want a baby right away....I must say...the old school condoms are looking like a better option every day!

i have to tell you that all of your symptoms are exactly like mine. And my gyn doesn't believe they are all coming from YAZ. So they are switching me at my request- again to Mircette. However- i have to tell you that i as on Loestrin 24 prior to YAZ and had all the same side effects.
Good luck.

Please take a few minutes of your day and report these side effects to the FDA, FDC, and APA. Many women have suffered similar syptoms and some like mine did not go away after stopping the YAZ. It is our responsability to protect other women from this life changing med. Hopfully enough complaints will change the warnings , cause a recall or maybe even a class action law suit. Please help me protect other women.
