http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842 I am a 34 year old and have been taking Yaz for almost a year. I had some minor side effects until this past month when everything came apart at the seams. I do not know if yaz is the culprit - but the number of women with the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS as me Sun, 01 Jul 2007 10:04:22 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=610 I also was taking yaz for a month and a half. I stopped taking it because I had severe migraines. 2 weeks after I stopped the pill, I had severe vertigo. I was diagnosed with an inner ear infection. I never had one in my life. (i am 32).

My 17 y/o daughter just started her new package of Yaz. Noted occasionally wanting to cry for no reason since starting, so there were mild initial effects that coincided with starting the medication.

About 2 weeks later if that, I started experiencing dizziness, anxiousness, vertigo, panic attacks. I then had an extremely heavy period.

Seems to me that would be the first thing I'd do. If Yaz is causing your symptoms, then the symptoms should stop within a week or month after your cycle regulates itself. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=4252 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:32:03 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=4599 I too am experiencing panic attacks and serious migraines since starting YAZ 6 months ago. When I first started, I felt fine for about 3 months, but the headaches got worse and the panic/anxiety attacks began about a month ago.

I too took Yaz for about a year. I began experiencing vertigo-like symptoms in April of 2007. These symptoms were more like an unsteadiness, not spinning like true vertigo. I have had blood work, head CT, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=5498 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:35:45 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=6296 Wow..... I have been on yaz for about 4 or five months. I too am having anxiety and migraines. I'd NEVER had a migraine before. And... if I admit to this, my whole career is over.

Almost to the point where I was suicidal. Crying for no reason, feeling completely worthless.

My first recommendation is to toss it out. I only lasted a month, and barely.

After 3 days I was feeling very moody and by day five was so moody that I decided not to take the pill anymore, so I had only taken Ya http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=16488 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:35:02 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=17006 Last night I finally stopped Yaz after spending 48 hours flat on my back with severe vertigo & migraine.

I never had any side effects while actually taking Yaz. However, I stopped taking it about 3 weeks ago, and I developed a cold or sinus type infection not too long afterwards. THEN I started having these terrible headaches, http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=17190 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:55:26 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/21842?item=17998 I am so glad I found this page in my search for answers about all my symptoms.
