I started using YAZ about 6 months ago. When I first started on this birth control I would get really bad headaches and nausea. For the past couple of months the side effects have gotten worse. I haven't had a period that lasted more than 2 days for the last 3 months. Last month I didn't get a period at all and had to take a pregnancy test. My appetite has been uncontrollable for the past couple of months also. I feel like I don't get full. The worst side effect that I have experienced with this pill is severe mood swings that I have been getting for the past couple of months. I have been getting very depressed for no apparent reason. I decided to look up side effects of YAZ today because my depression is so uncontrollable and I have no real reason to be depressed! I have a great husband and beautiful 1 year old daughter and I started to think it has to be my birth control because I'm not taking anything else. I'm so glad that I looked this up. I will not be picking up my prescription today (when I'm supposed to start a new pack) and see if this helps my mood. Also, I haven't gotten my period this month either and I'm supposed to start a new pack today!!

im on yaz also only it really helped me. but ive noticed that some months i wont get a period and other months its right before i start a new pack. now my doctor has me taking it for 3 straight months skipping the white pill and only having 4 a year. as long as you didnt skip any then its fine. if not then i suggest a pregnancy test. good luck!
