Hi, I started Yaz about 2 weeks ago. I am already on Zoloft for minor depression and anxiety. Stared Yaz the sunday I started my period. First the moodiness started, then the headaches. I thought I was getting sick with a cold because I had razor blade pain in my throat that I ended up attributing to Reflux. Went to the doctor to get meds to treat that. The pain went away then I got a metallic taste that I couldn't get rid of. Went to the dentist and nothing was wrong with my fillings. I thought I was going crazy because then I had vaginal itching and odor. I wasn't have a full period but I never stopped bleeding from my period when I started the pack. After finding this website I stopped mid cycle. This has scared the crap out of me. I know I haven't been on it for long, but can anyone tell me if they have stopped in the middle of the pack and how long it took for your period to be on a normal schedule again.

I was on Yaz for almost 1 year, this year I noticed vaginal itching for about 3-4 mos. Drove me crazy I used over the counter yeast meds, finally went to the gyno. I had killed all my yeast and had caused bacterial vaginosis. After treatment I still continued with itching. Finally decided to change off Yaz to my previous birth control I noticed the itching stopped. Since I have experiemented with Yaz one month and the other the next month. Each month I am on the Yaz I have itching which subsides when I use the other birthcontrol pill. I decided Yaz is the culprit. I have been tested for all STD's and any other reason I may have itching and all were negative. I am 35 and in a monogamus reltionship. The docotor said that some people are sensitive to the increased hormone in Yaz and their body can't handle it. I hope this helps. Try another pill for about 2 months and see if the itching stops.
