OMG!!! This is crazy! I was put on Yaz continuously to help with my heavy painful periods. About 3 days after starting it I went for some allergy testing. That night I started itching like crazy...all over my body. The next day I called the allergist to ask if this was a normal response and he told me that it wasn't from the testing and to take some Benadryl. The next day I started having these massive heart palpitations and feeling like I was going to pass out...still itching non-stop. This went on for a week until I finally called my GYN's office to see if it was possible that the pill could be causing this. They told me to stop it immediately as I could be having an allergic reaction. Within days of stopping the pill I was symptom free! Out of curiosity and desperation for relief of some of my period symptoms...I waited a cycle and started YAZ again. I have now been on it about a month. 2 weeks into it...the itching started again...but not as bad,..but now the heart palpitations are back...and worse! Yesterday my heart rate was 138 and lasted for a good 10 minutes. I have an appt, to see my primary in 2 days to just get checked and make sure that nothing else is going on. I can't believe that you all are experiencing this...I'm opting for the IUD now. Good Luck to all of you!

I cant believe I have found this post. 4 weeks ago I stopped taking the pill, I was getting the following Mood swings, Zero sex drive, extreme tiredness, headaches, Pulpatations and flutter and itchy. On reading the pack I saw there were side effects but it says unlikey, also on speaking with doc they said there are side effects but its unlikely. Now I am no longer on the pill I feel like a new person. I am so happy I STOPPED THE PILL. I am even more relieved that I know there are others who have gone through similar.
