I am in the 5th month of taking Yaz. My dr put me on this because I was complaining that I didn't feel right as I am getting older. I am 36. I was on triphasil and was starting to feel more intense symptoms during my periods. Heavier bleeding, cramping, extreme moodiness and of course, migraines. Dr thought Yaz would help and switched me. The first couple of months were fine. Then I started having anxiety, Occasional blurred vision. I have felt "wrong" for a long time now. The worst has been "constant" migraines. I have taken some sort of over the counter medicine every single day for months now. A friend told me her doctor took her off Yaz after her blood pressure sky rockited. I decided to check mine and sure enough it was way over what is considered high. That explains a lot!!! I have stopped taking this pill. It made everything so much worse.

Hi etm1973:

I just wanted to let you know about a site called the "Yasmin Survivors Forum" (if you type it into your search engine it will come up in the results list) where there are many women who have taken either Yasmin or Yaz and experienced terrible side effects, who offer advice and support.

In the meantime, I wish you luck and improved health.
Meagan
