Pulmonary Embolism - blood clots in my lungs which were caused by a presumed blood clot in my leg, which was caused by my Yaz. This is a very dangerous situation, and I was very lucky.

Please don't take Yaz if you have any alternative at all!
My 30-year-old, fit, non-smoking daughter is currently in the ICU after just the third pack of this KILLER drug, with a pulmonary embolism (major cause of sudden death in young women) and a clot in her leg. Thank God we got her to the ER in time--don't let it happen to you and your family. If you're taking it and get pains in your legs for no good reason, run, don't walk, to the nearest ER.

Shortly after beginning Yaz, I began getting dizzy at random, messy vision, fainting spells and an arrhythmia. I spent 2 days in the hospital and none fo the doctors attributed any of the side effects to Yaz, but that was the only new thing in my lifestyle. I also had been having incredible abdominal pain in the upper right area where my liver is. I have always been incredibly healthy and I started taking this to help the PMDD. Instead I am afraid that I have a frigging pending stroke coming my way or blood clot hiding in my brain making me pass out. Im scared and incredibly angry that all I did was try to get some help and instead had my life and my family's well being threatened. I am fighting to get an MRI on my head just to be sure nothings in there. I know I sound paranoid but suddenly getting an arrhythmia and passing out at random is scary. I am afraid to hold my daughter because If I faint, she'd get hurt. Another thing is at the beginning, I would dry heave a lot, but my doctor kept telling me to stick with it. She is STILL telling me this. Im stopping it tonight and joining a class action suit.
