Yaz increases your potassium levels, SO DO NOT eat anything with Potassium or take any medications that will increase your potassium. You will over load your system and make it even worse on you. You really need to read the enclosed brochure that came with Yaz from front to back to ensure you are fully aware of what you are taking and all the risks and side effects you will get. I had the same issues with my calves and it was not normal at all. Since I have stopped taking Yaz all my symptoms are gone and physically I feel normal again. I have not gotten my period yet, which I thought would come when I stopped taking Yaz, but nothing yet. I experienced anxiety attacks whenever I tried to climax so I understand what you are talking about. Yaz lowers your testosterone levels which drives your sex lfe, so there may be no hope for it to be normal again as long as you are on Yaz.
