I was 19 years old when I was put on Yaz. About 1 year after using Yaz, I had my gallbladder removed. My gallbladder was diseased and the doctor told me if I was to wait any longer it could have possibly ruptured. Then 3 months later I had a softball cyst removed from my right ovary, and use told that I now have endometriosis. Then 6 months after that i had another cyst the size of a grapefruit removed. I am going to school for nursing and while on the Yaz pill I always thought I was a failure and that I would never make it through the nursing program. I was always having mood swings, depression, bad headaches, stomach problems, bad back pains, and ovarian cyst always popping up and growing. If someone could please let me know how to contact someone about the class action lawsuit it will be very helpful. Thank you

I was put on Yaz when i was between 19-20 also and after only 6 days on it i had to stop it. I had horrible mood swings, depression to the point i plotted my own death (scary!), paranoia, serious abdominal and calf cramping, as well as headaches, nausea, fatigue, and serious fits of crying for unknown reasons. My boyfriend walked in one day to find me collapsed and hysterically crying on my kitchen floor with no known reasoning behind why i was crying except for the fact that i dialed the wrong number to order pizza...Yaz's side effects, still effect me today and have ultimately ruined my relationship because of serious mood swings, paranoia, and excessive fatigue. Despite that i only took Yaz for 6 days it still greatly effects my life. if you ever find a class action suit against them ill be right there next to you!
