Please don't take Yaz if you have any alternative at all! My 30-year-old, fit, non-smoking daughter is currently in the ICU after just the third pack of this KILLER drug, with a pulmonary embolism (major cause of sudden death in young women) and a clot in her leg. Thank God we got her to the ER in time--don't let it happen to you and your family. If you're taking it and get pains in your legs for no good reason, run, don't walk, to the nearest ER.

I just went through this same exact thing while on Yaz. I was hospitalized on Jan. 1 and spent 4 days in the heart unit. I am now on Coumadin until at least July. I went through great depression and anxiety attacks afterwards, but I feel really good now. I am 33, otherwise healthy. I had been having charly horses, muscle spasms in my right calf prior to PE, but I am not sure if that kind of pain is an indicator of a blood clot in your leg or not. I will say a prayer for your family!
