Side Effects of Yaz - Agitation?
Due to a medical prblm my OB put me on Yaz. I haven't taken the pill in over 2 decades and have noticed that since I have been on it, I have been very agitated, short-tempered and impatient. I am not on any other drugs that could have some type of reaction w/this pill. My OB thinks my agitation is unrelated but nothing else has changed in my life. I'm also experiencing fatigue, headaches and lack of motivation (a general blah kinda mood). I just wondered whether there are other women out there that have had this type of experience on Yaz and what you did about it?
So What Happened?™
So, I decided to go off the Yaz when I have finished the box. On top of what I had described, I started bleeding during taking it which my dr said is one of the side effects. (I also read the insert about it). I don't think I'll switch to another pill. I was put on Yaz due to a painful cyst and have decided to endure the pain of the cyst rather than go back on any type of pill. Thanks everybody for your advise. I really appreciated it.
It is now a month later and I am back to normal!!!! YEAH! I will not go on YAZ again, neither will I recommend it to other women.

If you are worse overall than before you got on it then it sounds like you should not be on it. Ask about other treatments.

GEt off of it! My girlfriend has the same side affects on it. She went to some site on line and read about other women that had the same affects. She was so upset with herself that she took it for long. Good Luck!

I have taken this pill and it was awful!!! Had the same symptoms you're having. Felt like I was going crazy. Literally!! If you look on-line for side effects of this. You should find some of the blog sites and all that's on there is people taking about how horrible it was. Your doctor should be able to put you on something else besides this, no matter what health reasons you're having that he put you on it in the first place.

N. - very interesting. I think I might call my OB and switch to something else. I was on Yasmin for a long time and felt that it made me overemotional. My doctor didn't disagree, but then wanted to switch me to Yaz in the late summer/early fall. I've had ALL of those symptoms since I've started Yaz and I thought it was just me and other stresses in my life. I was also starting to consider that I might have some kind of illness going on. I'm so glad you brought it up. It has me thinking!

Dear N.,
Sounds like you are getting the standard answer to a real problem - push a pill. Looks like the pill didn't really do the job of giving you back your life. It may be time to look at other options.
I was listening to Dr. Merkle on the radio on Sat (www.3000health.com) and he was talking able a girl who had all kinds of problems. He works by testing blood and hair and her tests came back low in all the blood stuff but her hair tested very high in toxic metals. When she was detoxed and supplemented her problems went away. I have several friend who Dr. Merkle has really helped. At least get tested to see what is really going on.
He doesn't know me so just say you got the link from his web site. He said that radio shows should be posted again some time this week. Listen to some of them or read some of the case studies (http://www.bk2health.com/doctor/nutrition/nutrition-Dayto... ) They will open your eyes.
Have a Blessed Christmas and a Wonderful & Healthy New Year.
God Bless,
S.

I would definitely stop taking the Yaz and switch to a different pill or a different method. After I had my daughter I went on Yaz which was new to me. It caused low libido, vaginal dryness, and an overall "blah" feeling with me. It has a higher progesterone level in it than other pills that can cause unwnated side effects. I switched to a different pill and no longer have those side effects. So trust your intuition. Good luck!

Hi N.....I never took Yaz, but I was on the pill for many years when I was younger. I had to stop taking it because it did all of those things to me. Over-emotional, tired, feeling blah....I even experienced feelings of impending doom. I was convinced something terrible was about to happen any minute. I cried a lot. Finally I stopped taking it, and within a few days I was back to my old self. I never went back on the pill. Yes, this pill is probibly the cause of all your symptoms. I don't know the medical condition for which you are taking Yaz, but maybe you need to stop....or switch to a lesser dose pill. Good luck to you!

Stop taking it and see if your symptoms go away
Surely there is something else that would not change you so much.Maybe you just need to get your tubes tied .
My nephews wife was on that for about 3 weeks and it turned her into a basket case.Go natural if you can. Good luck.
Remember it is your body and you know it better than any Dr. does.
