Yaz and stomache

I have posted my symptoms for about a week, I am HAPPY to say that I have only been off of YAZ 12 days and have already experienced some improvements. Im am sleeping again, and eating normally, the emotions have calmed down a little, I am still experiencing the cloudiness in the head, and a lil anxiety, and my stomach is still messed up occasionally. however I am able to get through the day without feeling like I am a completely Crazy person. I was only on it for a month, and I have never felt this way in my life, I heard that it will take about two months to completely leave your system, so everyone experiencing the effects of this EVIL drug, hang in there it will get better with time, you all are in my prayers. God Bless

I am so glad I found this site!!! I am 37 and I have had my tubes tied but I started taking YAZ to lessen the cramps and help with menstrual flow. What a bad choice!! I have had headaches for the past 4 days and I have only taken them for 8 days!!I am sick to my stomach and i feel so tired
I will stop today. ..I was watching a movie today and it made me so upset I called my husband...If anyone has stopped taking them Please let me know if the symptoms stops!

I cannot tell you how relieved I am to have found this site! I have been taking YAZ for just over 4 months. I started it to try to lessen menstrual flow, not for birth control as I already have my tubes tied. I am a former professional athlete and very in-tune with my body. I am currently 43 and had my tubal at 29.
I started having issues fairly early on, but they were gradual, yet intense. Two things showed up - memory loss and extreme mood swings. I started having difficulty remembering the simplest things and would forget parts of conversations had only minutes earlier. Then the mood swings started. I am a very stable person, even around my period. I began having suicidal thoughts for no reason at all. One day fine, the next day wanting to end it all.

I have put on 14# in the 4-month period, visible cellulite now on my thighs. Vaginal dryness, brown gunky, pasty residue after my period (which never actually stopped) and decreased sex drive.

I called the doctor and stopped taking them as of today after finding this site!

At first, Yaz was fine. I had been on Yasmin for 3 years, and switched to Yaz. I had no side effects from Yasmin. This is my 4th month on Yaz, and I've had a multitude of side effects. The first month, no period at all, second month, lighter period, but it started late and I was BLOATED and CONSTIPATED for the whole period. Third month, my vision is getting worse, I have ridiculous headaches, insomnia and anxiety. I started my 4th month of pills (hoping that my body just needed a few months to adapt to the new BC) and this has been by far the worst month ever!!! I've been on my period for 2 weeks now, even though I've finished a whole week of hormone pills, and I'm BLOATED LIKE CRAZY. It will not go down! And my mood swings are out of control. Any little thing will make me loose my temper, or I'll start crying and ask my husband a million times if I'm fat. My headaches are worse, insomnia is worse and now I'm sensitive to light. And I'm carrying around an extra 5 pounds on my butt that I didn't want. Plus, it's a load of crap that Yaz helps with cramps. Now it just feels like one person is kicking me in the stomach instead of two (which really is no different). This is just my experience with it, and I'm sure some people do great, but would recommend doing research on other pills before committing to Yaz.
