http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629 I am due to start my third pack of YAZ, and I am getting off today. My dr. gave me a three month trial after I switched from ortho-tricyclin low because I had break-through bleeding. I realize with any contraceptive there are going to be side-effects, but Tue, 22 May 2007 09:31:12 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=190 I had problems with YAZ too, but the best birth control pill I took (and I should have never switched) was LoEstrin. I didn't experience any side effects. Talk to your doctor...maybe there is something else out there for you. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=190 Tue, 22 May 2007 18:56:13 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=197 I stopped taking YAZ mid cycle a few weeks ago. I was so depressed, tired and anxiety ridden, which is not like me at all. I felt 100% better in 48 hrs. Good luck! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=197 Thu, 24 May 2007 20:29:10 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=215 I took LoEstrin when I was younger (for about 10 years) and had no problems. In Feb of this year was put on Yaz for bleeding issues and in my 2nd month of taking them I developed a blood clot in my arm and in my lung. I ended up in the hospital for 4 days. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=215 Tue, 29 May 2007 12:28:51 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=272 I had horrible side effects from YAZ. I was always getting sick, i had bad headaches, isomnia, the shakes, etc... I came to determine that the YAZ was causing all my problems..i came off of it about a month ago, i also am scared to get on BC again....i do http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=272 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 12:32:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=816 I have been on Yaz for almost 2 months and I feel soo exhausted! I am not able to function like normal. I was wondering if this side effect is only temporary and will go away after the first 3 months. Has anyone taken Yaz for a longer period of time? http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=816 Tue, 31 Jul 2007 13:20:22 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=976 I started Yaz last November due to a hormonal imbalance. My GYN said that it would "even out" my hormones. I had severe anxiety and suffered many sleepless nights due to the anxiety. I went off the pill in March because I literally felt like I was going cr http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=976 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 19:43:08 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=1521 I am having similar (though not as severe) symptoms possibly from Yaz. Did you have any of those symptoms with Orthotricyclen low? I am trying to look for an alternative to Yaz... http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=1521 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:04:27 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21629?item=2671 I've been on Yaz for 2 months and am about to start my 3rd month but after realizing so many others are having the same side effects and I'm not crazy I'm switching back to Ortho Tri Low!
