Actually, I had been taking YASMIN for over a year with NO problems. I was on every other pill known to man, but suffered from Acne sooooo, MD put me on YASMIN and skin was clear with no bad side effects. Recently, my MD put me on YAZ and, now, I'm having bowel issues (hospital twice), migraines, cramps in my legs at night, bloating and acne coming back. YAZ sucks! I'm tired all the time and feel depressed, too. This is all new to me so I'm going to ask to switch back to YASMIN!

I had the same issue. I was on Yasmin for 5 years, never had a problem until i began spotting. I was then put on Femcon which was okay, but i had very tender breasts so they switched me to Yaz. That is when My nightmare began. I had massive headaches and sinus pressure.(3 months, every day) Thought I had a sinus infection. Then was rushed to the ER with my heart pounding and Headache. Numbness everywhere. I for sure thought I was having a stroke. At that point i was on Yaz for 4 months. Never thought it was the pill until they diagnosed me with chronic migraines! I have never had a headache in my life and now I have chronic migraines? My Neuro basically said it's you pill and get off it. Healthly 26 year old's don't just get migraines wit no history of headache. Just a warning. It can be the obvious. I am now off Yaz for 3 weeks now. I still have not gotten my period, but my H/A are much less then they were. I am looking forward to being a normal h/a free person.
