I am a 38 Yrs old and I took myself off Yaz 2 nights ago after being on it for 2 weeks. I still need to call the gyno and inform her. My personality completely changed, my moods terrible, snappy and extremely short fused, i think i'm officially banned from the dunkin donuts at the end of the street after yelling at them for screwing up my order-normally i'd let it go and just get it fixed, no patience whatsoever. I'd never been on birth control before, and I'll never go on it again after this experience. I didn't even want to be with myself. I can't believe my boyfriend didn't dump me after Sunday. The side effect i find odd and worrisome the most is, and I still have, pressure in my head and throat and tongue, it's dissipating as of today but started last Thursday (about a 1.5 weeks on the yaz). Has anyone else experience the head pressure?

I was on Yaz for a little over a year and decided to go off of it this month. I was supposed to start a new pack last night so I've been off it for only 24 hours now, but man can I tell a difference. I thought I was just having a bad day but I've been experiencing anxiety, borderline panic attacks and can't really seem to get excited about anything or relax today. I just burst into tears on the phone with my friend over nothing and I thought I would check into this - thank the lord I found this discussion forum just so I can understand where my sudden feelings may be coming from. I'm going to call my doc tomorrow to see what she thinks, but I'm hoping my body will adjust soon - I want to feel normal again!

Yes. I have had head pressure as well as pressure in my ears. My boobs have grown substantially and my skin itches. I liked my breasts the way they were. Now my shirts are all tight.

Ihave been on YAZ for about two and half months and I am considering stopping the BC. Over the past two weeks I have felt sad and like crying for no reason. I am normally not like this. It has been very frustrating.
