Yaz

Bsteen · **Yaz**

Anyone tried it? What did you think?
It's birth control that's also supposed to help w/ PMDD (Extreme PMS). I'm thinking I might ask my dr about it.

Talk to your doctor. I know another member that takes it & can't stand it.

I know everyone reacts differently to things but I was just curious to hear what the word is on it. Interesting.

Yeah, don't take it!!!!! A friend of mine took it and she hated it. She had very bad side effects from taking it. Please discuss it in length with your Dr. before taking it.

I have never taken it, but my SIL took it and got bad side effects from it! Headaches, dizzy feelings and she didn't feel well. When she quit taking it, she felt NORMAL AGAIN! My neighbor was taking it for two months and found out that she was pregnant! I haven't heard many good things about it.

I took yasmin which is like the sister of yaz (mine had been out longer, yaz is like the 'new improved' version I think). I'll try it out when I go back on the pill. According to my doc the formula in yasmin was ideal for those with PCOS (which I have). I had no side effects that I can think of.

I had my dr call in a prescription for it but I never picked it up. I'm getting to the point where all that fine print scares me. All those birth control pills have warnings for women over 35 and I'm about to be 33, so I'm not going to chance it.

I was having extreme mood swings. But I started working out more and I'm doing MUCH better. I started my period the other day and didn't even realize it was time because I'd not had horrible PMS.
