I have been taking Yaz for six months now, and I'm stopping after I finish this pack. I've been on it this long because I thought at first the side effects caused by it were just the beginnings of aging for me (I'm 25), but the acceleration of my problems has been so noticeable that I can't be in denial any more! Basically, here's what I have: -thinner hair that comes out more easily and doesn't grow back as fast (it would be nice if this were restricted to "unwanted" hair, but this actually includes my eyelashes, eyebrows and head hair, which have all gotten noticeably lighter and thinner) -CELLULITE, which I never had before...not only on my thighs but on my bum and CALVES, I didn't even realize it was possible to get cellulite there! -spider veins on my upper thighs, again, never had this before -very decreased sex drive -thinner skin with less elasticity -memory problems -much increased vaginal discharge Now, it's not all losses...my boobs are bigger when I actively take the pills, and my skin has become less acne prone...but is all that other stuff really worth it??? I think not.

OMG went to get my hair colored and cut and have been upset with my hairdresser. I have dry damaged hair and it falls out by the hand fulls. I just knew she had done something different to my hair. This lady has done my hair for over 6 years. Anywho she immediatly asked if I was taking any new meds. Well Hello! Just stopped YAZ 1 week ago after having tons of issues that I too had thought were due to aging (I turned 39 in April). I have been suffering from headaches, zoned out, fatigue, not just loss of sex drive but NO drive nothing. I never would have thought this was causing my hair issue. Leave it a trained professional to figure that out (the hairdresser LOL)
I started taking Yaz to hopefuly help with PMDD. I have had clear skin but all the other issues is NOT worth it.

Thx for listening
