I have only been on this pill for a week and the side effects have begun to drive me crazy and I mean that literally!! On my way to work this morning I had a panic attack, I've never had anything like that before. I started to cry while eating breakfast and then in return I just became angry. My poor boyfriend has had to deal with me as well.... I'll be so nice to him and then 20 minutes later I'm completely angry about life and him and everything he does! He could do the littlest thing and I'm so upset. My doctor switched me to this from orthotricylin because I have really bad ovarian cysts and she was hoping this would help...obviously not! I went to the health center at work and talked to them about it, and said that there was no way this could be related to Yaz...because Yaz is supposed to be the latest and greatest thing and make it so you have no mood swings...that is completely wrong. I also never had problems with nausea, now every morning it takes me 3 hours to not feel nauseous and to be able to even eat just a piece of toast. I have been trying to get ahold of my doctor to see if I can stop taking the pill now because I do not think I can go through 2 more weeks of this or I believe I will be single and crazy! Please if you have stopped taking this pill, how long did it take you to be a normal woman again?

I stopped my Yaz last Friday. Today is Tuesday and it's the first day I don't feel the anxiety or panic attacks coming on. I'm not weepy anymore. I'm also sleeping normally again (I only slept 4 hours my 4th and 5th nights on the pill!) The heart palpitations have gone away, but I'll admit I was a bit moody still last night. I've been having a period now for 10 days straight! ugh.. My doctor said to give it another day and if my period doesn't stop by tomorrow there's a pill he can give me to make it stop. I think for the most part, I'm actually starting to feel normal again. So for me, it has taken 4 days, but I was only on Yaz for a week when I stopped against the recommendation of my doctor (it's my body not his and I know when I don't feel normal, he doesn't!). Hope this helps.
