Thank you all for sharing. I couldn't figure out why for the last 4 months I have been extremely exhausted and the only thing I had changed in my life was starting Yaz. This morning I just couldn't take it anymore so I started to google "side effects" from Yaz. I had gone to my doctor and told her there is something wrong but I don't know what it was. She blew it off and said it was depression and told me to take anti-depression medication. I have had major depression in my past and know what it feels like and I was 100% sure that there was something strange happening to my body, not depression. My other side effect, besides the common ones many people wrote about was severe body aches. I am 34 and it feels like I am 80. It is hard for me to get out of bed without giving a good holler. My moodiness, sleeplessness, bloating, headaches, body aches, and feeling exhausted 24 hours a day has halted my life. I am stopping Yaz TODAY!!!! Charity

Update: It's day 5 of being off of Yaz and I am starting to feel a change. This past weekend I didn't feel like I needed a nap every couple hours and I am starting to have a little more energy. My body is still aching but I feel like it is improving. I am very happy with my decision to stop Yaz. One side effect of coming off is the return of acne, but I'll take it if all the other side effects go away.
