I've been taking Yaz since about October or November. I rarely ever had even a headache before taking Yaz, and I noticed that I began having migranes almost every day if not every day after beginning to take Yaz. I never even would have imagined that it could have been my BCP but after reading all of these reviews and having almost all of the side effects that these other women are having, I've decided that I need to talk with my obgyn about changing contraceptives. Since starting Yaz I've had the following: -Migranes every day or every other day -Violent Mood Swings - Feelings of being overwhelmed - Fellings of extreme anger and rage -Joint pain in my knees and hips - Decrease in Sex Drive -Emotional spells ( crying for no reason, or being sad for no reason) -Blurred Vision -Weight Gain -Increase in cup size -Painful Acne I'm 21 years old. There should be no decrease in my sex drive. Now don't get me wrong. Yaz has it's good points as well, but for the most part, my experience with it has been negative. The good part about it is that my periods are regular, whereas before they were all over the place. I've started fights with my boyfriend, when no fight or argument should have happened, and I've become filled with rage and anger at family gatherings. It works for some people but for myself and many others, I see, it's not been very pleasant to take.
