I just started my second month of Yaz, and this last week or so I have been experiencing side effects, such as; mood swings, irritability, loss of patience, sudden crying fits, and headaches. I think it is too soon to notice any weight change, but I am just not happy with myself. I have read through the posts, and I am happy that all of you have posted, but I haven't seen anyone talk about other options. I am wondering if anyone else has been given any recommendations. I have been on Yasmin in the past (high school, I am now 24), but never experienced these side effects before. The pill does clear up my mild acne, but only until I hit the last four pills. Not a concern of mine, I would rather not be so moody and irritated all of the time. Can these side effects happen so soon? I thought that it took longer for birth control to be in your system. Any comments back would be great. As of today, I am off Yaz, and have scheduled an appointment with my gynecologist to discuss further options.

Hi lilsaint:

I just wanted to let you know about the "Yasmin Survivors Forum" (if you type it into your search engine it will come up in the results). There are many women there, who have taken either Yasmin or Yaz and have experienced terrible side effects, some of the same that you described. The women there are supportive and offer advice.

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