somebody help! the first year on yaz was great but then started the HORRIBLE panic attacks. they never ended. i was in bed for 3 months straight literally only went to the bathroom and lost like 25 pounds. im 5 10 and weigh 107. i had severe depression, my hair was falling out, diagnosed with panic disorder, and POTS. my blood pressure would drop to 50/20 every time i stood up. all this NEVER happened before. my eyes are so dry i cant wear contacts. i have derealization/depersonalization. it soo scary. im only 20 and feel like a 60 year old. i am always tired. i can sleep at any given time. i have trouble staying awake on the road. i have been on 4 anti depressants and klonopin. i never had anxiety in my life before. i think i am going crazy everyday. i don't know what to do anymore. i finally stopped taking yaz 3 weeks ago and slightly better but still not even close to what i was a couple years ago. how could they put this pill on the market? this is absolutely horrible.

icesktr189- Don't give up on yourself! I have had the same symptoms as you on Yaz, right down to the dry eyes and uncomfortable contacts. I am sleepy, weepy, angry, and very easily overstimulated. I have not lost weight, but instead have had bloating in my face that makes me feel like I don't even look like myself. I have trouble in grocery stores and restraunts with anxiety. I also live in West Michigan where the cloud cover in the winter causes me to experience slight "winter blue" most years, but this year (while on Yaz) has been severe. I threw my pills away on Sunday, halfway through a pack, and I already feel a little better. I wonder how long it will take for our hormones to return to normal? Please hang in there and focus on your beautiful amazing body that is built to create life (too bad we can't just turn that gift off!) - - and try to find a way back to your old self. We'll both be working on that....
