I've lost a little bit of weight but I am literally NO interest in sex.

I took it for less than a month and suffered such excrutiating headaches that I BEGGED to be switched to something else within the first couple of days. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=2230 Mon, 08 Oct 2007 06:53:24 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=2285 I was taking yaz for about a month and a week. It started with a weird headache that wouldn't go away, always feeling tired and weak. I thought I was going crazy at one point with feelings of anxiety and depression. After reading the postings I feel a bit http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=2285 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:45:06 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=2311 I was on Yaz for 2 1/2 months. I had to get off it. I bled the ENTIRE month of September. I stopped taking the pill and my period was slightly heavy, but Im not bleeding! http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=2311 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 21:41:22 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=3073 OH MY GOD!!! This is absolutely insane. I've been feeling all of these same side affects for the past 6 months or so. I was first using the NuvaRing and then I switched over to YAZ. Now it's all making sense. Thanks to all of you who took the time to post http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=3073 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 08:40:19 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=3280 The loss of libido was the most serious problem for me. I think my headaches were caused by my thoughts about the end of my sex life. I had to take Sentia for about a month to return my sex drive and to get rid of vaginal dryness. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=3280 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:14:43 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=5439 Anxiety, increased vertigo/dizziness, leg craps, constantly having to urinate, bad period headaches, pain during sex, dryness...

I only went back on Yasmin 3 weeks ago, and am supposed to start a new pack tonight. Needless to say, I am not going to do that now. I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past month. M http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=5612 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:32:57 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=7170 I was on YAZ for three months...for the first month I bled for the whole month. My nurse practioner said it was normal. I had cramps during my period which were unbearable, and I normally have cramps but not as bad. Felt like I was being scraped out clean. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=7170 Wed, 07 May 2008 09:54:34 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8039 Hi. Im seventeen years old and I have/had only been on Yasmin for about 3 months. This pill made me crazy. Im a very happy person and after I started taking this birth control I turned so evil. I yelled at everything my boyfriend did, I even became slightl http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8039 Thu, 08 May 2008 16:44:11 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8101 Wow.....so many of you are idiots, I'm sorry. I too have had side effects from Yaz, bad headaches and varicose veins. HOWEVER.....you can't tell anything from only taking a birth control pill for 5 days. Thats why your OB should have told you to take it http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8101 Tue, 20 May 2008 21:53:19 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8470 I feel much better now knowing that there isn't something terribly wrong with me. I have been taking YAZ for 4 months and I honestly don't know how I lasted that long. In addition to all the side effects that almost everyone else has complained of (depress http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8470 Fri, 23 May 2008 18:31:21 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=8562 I have been on Yaz since May 16 for menopausal irregular bleeding. In the last couple of days I started noticing some side effects.

I was on Yasmin for 12 months and had no idea that it was the cause behind my mood swings, nervousness and weight gain, spots and constant headaches, som http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=15077 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:21:40 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/23063?item=18881 I started Yaz only one week ago. I'm a marathoner and in grad school but can barely get out of bed until the times I work and then I'm totally not myself.
