Yaz and losing my mind

I am so glad this site exists! I thought I was losing my mind with all my side effects. I really didn't think to blame my birth control but all the side effects kept adding up! Enough to make me google search them! I'm 25 years old and have been on YAZ for 13 months. I have experienced the following side effects: NO SEX DRIVE! Even when I try... I "dry up" quickly! =( Breakthrough bleeding(which can be three weeks of spotting). Headaches. Sinus pain. Breakouts. Fatigue. (I can sleep for more than 12 hours at a time!) Anger/rage issues (resulting in physical violence). Emotional mess! I was prescribed YAZ because I was getting very painful ovarian cysts. Prior to YAZ I was on Ortho Lo which made me a crying, screaming, hairbrush throwing lunatic. But at least I has a sex drive! I noticed how different I felt when I was on a week long prescription of antibiotics for an infection of my foot. My YAZ wasn't working and I felt like a million bucks. I obviously need to be on some form of birth control for the cysts but I will be contacting my doctor asap to get this changed!!

I have felt over the past month, (the first time i have ever been on the pill) that I was losing my mind. I have had anxiety, depression, mood swings. I have also been clumsy, forgetting everyday things, feeling like I was in a daze, tired, oh its been horrible. I just hope this stuff leaves my system and I get back to normal.

nausea, headache, anxiety, hairloss, hairloss, oh yea; major hairloss, light headed. I was on yaz for 3 months, all side effects had went away except for the hair loss. I stopped taking the pill mid pack, i was scared of losing my hair. My Dr. said to go back on my pill, that the hair loss would get worse if I went off. My Dr.also told me that the pill was most likely not the cause of my hair loss and that if I stayed on the pill it would eventually correct itself. I went back on the pill after being off for only 2 weeks. This is my first week back on the pill and I think I am losing my mind, and my dinner. I remember this feeling only lasted for a few weeks the first time I took the pill. At this point, I just want to keep my hair, so I am back on the pill and just started using Nixion products. I will keep you posted. The side effect that never went away was yaz made my oily skin dry. On the positive, I lost weight, and my small breasts grew a cup size. Any advice on the hair situation?

I had terrible side effects with Yaz....I literally thought I had a deathly disease. It took 6 weeks to feel normal again. Get off of it if you are suspicious....there are other forms of birth control.

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one feeling like I was losing my mind on this stuff. Since I've been taking Yaz, I've had zero sex drive. If I'm lucky I might get 20min of a good sex drive. I've also had mood swings that make Naomi Campbell look like a two year old having a tantrum. I've had more arguments with my husband in one day, than I've had in our entire relationship. I cry about everything. Sometimes I cry and I don't even know what I'm crying about. Yaz is the worst thing on the market.
