I am three weeks into my first pack of pills, and today I stopped taking them because of the severe headaches I have been experiencing. I rarely get headaches, and when I do I can treat them with advil....but three weeks ago (right after I started my first pack) I had a headache that lasted for three days. I thought I had a sinus infection, the headache was behind my eyeballs and throughout my forehead and temples. The headache went away but came back two days ago, and I still have it now. I am convinced it is from Yaz. I have not been able to find a birth control pill that doesn't make me absolutely psycho, and I was hoping Yaz would be the pill to work for me. I never experienced headaches from the other pills I was on, but these headaches are so severe and last for so long that I know it's more then just a common headache. I hope they go away soon...this pill is scary! And on I side note I also noticed I have NO sex drive...but that happened with the other birth control pills I was on too.

i was on femcon for a little over a year. i had to completely stop taking them because i was getting terrible headaches/migraines. i have never had issues with bad headaches like that ever before. i am currently not taking any birth control because i am scared that if i do i will go through the same thing again with the headaches. i got to the point that i actually thought i had/have a brain tumor. i still think that because now that i am off the pill i continue to get very bad migraines. i am seeing my doctor on tuesday to see what she says. i wish you luck and know exactly how you feel with the headaches/feeling faint!
