I have been on other birth controls, and more recently have been off for 8 months. Not trying to get pregnant, just sick of the side effects of my other pills (generics). Doc gave me yaz, I didn't take it until now, 5 months after prescribed. I have been taking it for 7 days, and I feel like crap. I thought my back pain was from sleeping wrong and sitting at a computer, but you guys have it too. I didn't have a BM for the first 5 days, and when I did it was painful and smelled like someone died (completely unlike me). I feel like I don't want to do anything fun. I have gone to bed by 9 every night and have no interest in doing anything else. Even thinking about my Sunday plans, which are normally fun and exciting, all I want to do is lay in bed. This pill is whack, and I'm going off it immediately. I would rather get pregnant or be stuck using icky condoms again than deal with this crap. Thank you everyone else for sharing. I hope someone else eyes get opened like mine just were.

That sounds like there are more underlying issues there, and maybe the Yaz just exasterbated the situation. B/C pills are known to cause weight gain,or extra bleeding but not symtoms of depression. I am a nurse in ob/gyn and also take Yaz myself and have found it to be the best one I've taken, no weight gain, shorter periods. Everyone is different, but I have also been depressed before and that sounds more like the root of the problem.
