I find it strange that everyone has hated the YAZ pill...I am 19 years old and have been on it since September....my periods are only 2 days now...i don't even have to wear a tampon....yes i have started to get more migraines, but it has TOTALLY CLEARED up my skin!!! It has been amazing!!! I have always had moderate acne, but this pill has gotten rid of it completely. And oddly enough I would say it has not decreased my sex drive...seems more like a definite increase....Yes i still get bad cramps, but I have always had them so i don't know if thats the pill or what...ive only experienced nausea a few times....i have had NO mood swings or depression....oh and I have even lost a little weight...usually I averaged about 116 and watched what i ate...but now i eat whatever i want and i stay around 110....!!! (i don't exercise too often) i can tell it has increased my metabolism....overall i would say this pill rocks, and you gotta stay on it for at least 4 months and take it consistently everyday at the same time to get good effects.

I was on another bc for just one month before I switched to YAZ. I have only been on YAZ for about 5 days now and I already feel different then the month before. My vision is blurry and naseau is definitley present. I have also begin to have pain down my right arm. Yea totally not normal, especially since it has only been five days. When I asked my doc to switched he was hesitant and said that he wanted to see me after the fourth pack to check my blood pressure. Didn't seem right but I heard good things from others taking it so thought I would try anyway. I think I should have just stuck with what I had. Is it worth sticking it out for four months? Should I call the doctor this early into the pill or should I switch back to my original bc and go on with my life?
