Yaz Survivors Forum, Yaz, Yasmin, Best of Luck, Experiences

I have been on Yaz for 6 days and have never felt so TIRED in all my life. I am sensitive to BC hormones and my derm put me on Yaz because it has a low hormone dose and is good for acne. Haven't been on it long enough to see any affect on my acne but I am not taking it anymore because of the severe fatigue. I am used to running on about 6 hours of sleep no problem but the past two days I have done nothing but sleep. Thank goodness it was the weekend because I slept for about 9 hours each night and took TWO 2-hour naps Saturday and Sunday. I went to bed last night (Sunday night) at about 9:30 because I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and set my alarm for 5am. When it went off I had to hit the snooze button about 4 times and then when I finally was able to roll of out bed it felt like I had slept for about 2 hours tops. I have never felt like this in my life. I also felt very physically weak and like I couldn't focus mentally. When I got home from school today I took another 2 hour nap and I still feel like I could sleep for several more hours. I have also been experiencing some blurred vision and GI upset (diarrhea and excessive burping). Needless to say I am discontinuing this BC. Who knows, the side effects may have improved with time but I just cannot deal with feeling this way for one more day.
