Yaz and devil

When I first started Yaz, I did not have a period the first month, then on my second month there was a little spotting one day. On the third month, my boyfriend and I noticed my lack of sex drive. Went from pulling him into the bedroom to, "I don't want to", or "I'm too tired". On the third months cycle, my period lasted 2 full weeks. I have become very tired no desire to get out of bed in the morning and have been late for work a little too often.

I have also become very moody, one moment very loving, and the next like the devil. I have also acquired a fever with no other symptoms of being ill.

I stopped taking the Yaz birth control, and in one day my energy is back my boyfriend is very happy, and I actually got up this morning at decent hour.

Happy once again:

This is by far the worst pill I have ever taken. Before Yaz I was on Nordette, Ortho Tri cyclen and Alesse. I saw the commercials and got sucked into trying this pill. All I can say is proceed with caution. I ended up taking this pill for the unhappiness 8 months of my entire life. I had problems with other pills causing weight gain (Nordette, Ortho Tri cyclen) or acne (Alesse). However, those symptoms are mild compared to what Yaz inflicted on me.

I have always been described as happy go lucky and Yaz gave me extreme moodiness, panic attacks about my future and life, and major depression. I did have the best skin of my life and lost about 5 lbs but I was an emotional MESS! I would cry at the drop of a hat and find fault in everyone and everything. This symptom didn't start right away but each month I was on Yaz got worse. My friends coined my "alter ego" "she devil." I almost felt possessed at times on this pill. I finally realized it was the pill and not life causing these problems when 3 of my girlfriends had the same problems and got off and the problems went away.

Prior to having this experience I thought people tried to blame too much on the pill but my experience showed me just how much these can mess with your body. I switched back to Alesse 5 days ago and it's like I am a different person--even my skeptical boyfriend noticed the change. As for the acne, I am going to go to a dermatologist to address that. I will be happy to have a few zits as opposed to being a crazy woman.

Proceed with caution on this pill and watch your moods carefully. Just because you've been on it for a few months doesn't mean you're safe. The majority of my emotional disorder started about 5 months in. I do have some girlfriends that like this but most have found it to bring out "she devil".
