I too have had reverse side effects. Emotionally I've been fine but I am eating myself out of house and home the week before my period!! I have been on Yaz for 3 months. The first month I thought I was imagining it but now that it's happened 3 months in a row I think it's time for me to go off of it. The scary thing is that I had a gastric bypass over 3 years ago. In that time I've lost 150 pounds and now enjoy a very normal life filled with lots of exercise and healthy eating. I've broken the cycle of food addiction and really don't suffer from cravings. But right now all I want to eat is McDonalds and chocolate!!!! If it's like last month though the day my period starts these cravings will go away. Very weird!!!

You are absolutely correct. I was feeling awful and didn't make the connection to Yasmin28. I prayed for help. BCP price doubled when I went to pick up another month's worth. I did not purchase it. Little did I realize then how that was a Godsend to make me research side effects. The power of prayer should not be under estimated. Because of my love for Jesus and by His grace I was able to work through some of the dark thoughts from being drugged. He gave me the out I needed through the price tag because He knew I wouldn't pay that much for a 28day BCP. No more BCPs for hormone balancing for me. I'm trying a more natural alternative ( Vitex/Chasteberry). Going with Hormone free milk & meats too & more veggies. I also did a 2 wk. gentle body detox & running/exercising regularly. Why can't Drs educate on natural alternatives found at good health food stores? No patents for pharm. companies, I know.
