I have been on YAZ for about three weeks. This is my first BCP I've been on. Within a few days of taking it, I got headaches everyday, my moods were up and down, and I got cramps in my lower abdomen. It felt like I was getting my period because of the cramping. This may be a little TMI, but I was horny all the time! Now the thought of having sex bores me. I don't want to have sex, I feel like crap every day, and I'm over all having a bad time on this pill. I'm scared to keep going with it, because I don't want something bad to happen, but I know that with any type of pill, until your body gets used to it, your going to have some weird side effects. Can someone please give me some advice what to do? Should I keep taking it or just stop?

No I would stop it right now, but that is my advice. I was on it for 7 months and I regret it. It took about 3 months for me to get use to it but after the 3 months it was heck! I was constantly tired, sad, mad, and overall a big mess! I am only saying to stop it now because I feel it will only get worse. Again that is my opinion. It is a dangerous pill and until I looked at all these postings I didn't know what was wrong. I wish I could take these last 7 months back but I can't. I am seeing someone because of how bad this pill was for me, I don't want it to happen to anybody else.

Best of luck, let me know how things turn out.
