I was on Yasmin for almost a year, and then on Yaz, and I've neve...

I am so done with hormonal birth control. I'm getting a tubal where they will clamp my tubes closed this coming friday. Of course, I don't want kids every and you may.....

Very interested in a class action lawsuit.
My daughter who is 20 years old has been Yaz for just three months and has completed turned into a different individual. Before she was happy-go-lucky and very social. Today she suffers with depression and has no desire to socialize. Her concentration has suffered severely, to the point that she struggles to take her college tests or do the many hours required to study for tests.

To jgo4 : I hear you. As a married woman, I have successfully used the withdrawal method for birthcontrol. I don't want any more kids (I have one teen daughter) but I also cannot tolerate the birth control "options" on the market. They're awful. Short of surgery (for the male or female), withdrawal, (and I also use progeterone cream derived from Mexican Wild Yam Root which in times past had been used as a sort of 'contraceptive') I haven't come across any method of birth control that isn't... awful.

To jgo4 : Also, I was on week one of YAZ and by day 2 of my pack, I was (I won't use the "S" word), let's say I was "Self-destructively MISERABLE). I just wanted to die! I cried for 4 days STRAIGHT for absolutely NO REASON! My head hurt from the profusive weepyness! I felt like mercury was coursing through my veins, Iike I was an alien's body. My body didn't feel like my own. It was SCARY TERRIBLE! After figuring out that i couldn't take it anymore, I stopped and my gyn didn't have much to say about it except that my "emotional issues" had to have been present before she started me on YAZ. Typical! I would think that a FEMALE doc would have 'more compassion' for these sorts of things, but NOT SO! It was the YAZ that made me feel like death and I just pray that I stopped in time to avoid any clotting or other issues that have been listed.
