I've been on Yaz for about 2 years and I really like it. I am taking it for PCOS (so I don't have a choice to NOT be on BC) and so far, I have not experienced any of the problems other people have had. I did notice a decrease in sex drive, but I'm fairly certain this is due to my under-active thyroid.
At any rate, my doctor said that Yaz, like other BC methods, can deplete B vitamins from your system which can contribute to loss of sex drive. He suggested I start taking a High-Potency B vitamin (they come in standard doses) as well as DHL or DCL or something, I can't remember, 2-3x a week. I have seen my sex drive return, although it still isn't what it used to be.
Good luck to all of you with the other symptoms. I am shocked at the problems it has been causing and I'm horrified for each and every one of you. If you are like me and only have a few mild problems, talk to your doctor about some vitamins!
