First of, let me say I am a Pharmacy Technician. I was on Yaz for about 5 months. It was OK. It wasn't strong enough to stop my periods until about 4 days into a new pack, it didn't do much for my skin, and it was $40/ month because there is no generic! I only kept taking it because it didn't make me nauseous (I am very sensitive to nausea). After $40/month was a little too much, I went to my dr and wanted to be put on Yasmin (ocella) because it would only be $10/month and it has the same hormones as yaz which didn't make me sick, but it was .01mg stronger, which made me a little nervous. But I tried it, didn't make me sick AT ALL, cleared my skin up, periods start and stop on time, no cramps, cheaper generic, and I lost 17 lbs! I actually love this pill... it's a miracle serum.
