OMG! Thought it was due to my age. Thought I was going crazy! ...

I have been taking Yaz for about 3 years now. I have gained about 20 lbs over the 3 years and have experienced a great amount of hair loss and thinnng hair, scary stuff. My appetite is uncontrollable, I want to eat all the time which is something I experienced when I was pregnant over 7 years ago. I am extremely tired getting up most mornings looking forward to the end of the day when I can go to bed again. My sex drive is a thing of the past and I cringe when my husband wants to be intimate. My patience is running on empty and I get very sad over the smallest things. I searched the net for info on Yaz after seeing an ad on TV for a law firm offering possible settlements due to the adverse side effects caused by this drug. These fricking drug manufactures have no regard for the safety of women who will take these drugs under the advise of their physicians many of which are compensated for prescribing the drug and of course the drug companies walk away with billions and billions. I am no longer taking Yaz as of today and will never take it or recommend it to anybody. Hopefully my hair will thicken, my sex drive will come back, my tiredness will diminish and the weight will come off and the appetite get back to normal.
