| 1 | birth control pill | READ THIS! Background of the evil Yaz. It’s the new “lifestyle” drug hidden in your birth control pill and it is suppose to help with PMDD, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder which is the drug industry’s new disorder that needs the new pill – Yaz. Birth control pills are big money and the anxiety drug companies want a piece of the action. I was given a 3 month sample of Yaz by my female doctor. She told me “the first 5 or 6 months will be terrible, but after that, you’ll feel great.” Her comment at the time made me take notice. I have taken birth control pills on two separate times in my life and it was never a big deal. I never complained once. I haven’t taken bc pills in 9 years. But with Yaz and only after 7 days, it made me crazy. I am terrified that American women are being given this drug. How can they function in society and be production mothers, students and employees when they are given this garbage? This pill sh | What has happened is the global Big Pharma is losing money on normal anxiety drugs such as Paxil and Zoloft since the drugs are now going generic and now have a low price for consumers. Yaz is now the new pill that includes a birth control pill with anxiety drugs. They are combining the two! Watch out and wake up! Your health is important and this drug is evil. If you have severe PMS or their new disorder PMDD to pimp their drug, you need something, but watch out for this pill. I never asked for an anxiety pill and my doctor gave me this. I am insulted and angry with her. Watch out ladies! Scary! Search the Internet and read! Here is a quote on Yaz from a company spokesperson, "We are really excited because Yaz takes oral contraceptives even further than they have ever been," --- said. "This really changes what women can expect from an oral contraceptive." For sure!!!!!! Expect to want to jump out of your window! | F | 35 | 7 days | 1/8/2007 | 1 | PCOS / BC | mood swings, constipation, weight issues, gas | I was on Demulin 1/35 since I was 26 till 33. I needed a change because Demulin was not working as it was when I started using the pill. My doctor gave me Yasmin. I had terrible gas and abnominal pains on the left side . I thought I had colon issues because of my family history and had a colonospy and there were no issues. I was always crying and mean and very insecure. My doctor has now perscribed Ortho Tri Cyclen. The pharamcist gave me the generic form Trinessa and its horrible. Do not use generic. I gained weight and the acne was terrible. I had all the same side effects of Yasmin except the weight gain. I am starting the real Orth Tri-Cyclen next week and I have had heard some good reviews. | F | 34 | 8 months | 1/7/2007 | 3 | BC | extreme bloating, mood swings (excessive crying outbursts for no reason at all), fatigue, occasional abdominal pain. | At first I noticed that Yasmin reduced my bloating and I actually thought I lost weight, but this week prior to my period my stomach is swollen more than it has ever been before. I don't know if I should be worried. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 1/5/2007 | 2 | Birth Control/PMS regulation | I am so relieved to see this site. I'm not crazy!! I switched to YAZ from Yasmin because of breakthrough bleeding; I'm suprised I haven't been on CNN or YOUTUBE yet for public outbursts of hostility, I feel like I'm going to kill everybody! Hi and my husband of 8 years is about ready to divorce me because I'm no longer 'the woman he married'. This is awesome, I love having unexplained stomach aches, anxiety, food cravings, anger, depression, foot/leg cramps, high triglicerides, and absolutely NO desire to have sex w/ the wonderful, sexy, attractive man I married. | These pills should be taken off the market and further examined for side effects; more studies should be done. The pharmecutical industry is unbelievable; I'm sure VIAGRA doesn't have nearly as many side effects and men get to screw all they want. | F | 33 | 4 months | 1/4/2007 | 1 | Birth Control | Nausea, extreme bloating, diahrea, irrational thouhts, cloudiness, mood swings, complete loss of energy, no sex drive, depression, anxiety. | I hate this pill! Its not worth the side effects. Took Ortho Tricylcen for years with no problems. Im switching back immediatley. Please research this medication before taking it. | F | 28 | 3 weeks | 1/4/2007 | 4 | control pregnancy and PMDD | so far, i've been experiencing a lot of breast tenderness and random shooting pains in my breasts. other than that, i think my mood has been stable and it's been working well. | F | 23 | 10 days | 1/3/2007 | 1 | Birth control | Depression, anxiety atacks , Insomnia,Heart papitations, crying,Suicidal thoughts | This is a sneeky drug. It causes health problems that you will think you are going crazy. I dont know how my husband has lived with me for as long as he has. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! | F | 34 | 4.5 years | 1/3/2007 | 2 | acne | felt sluggish, depressed, anxiety. difficulty concentrating during the day. breast tenderness, although no increase in size. weight gain 10-15lbs. acne cleared up, shorter periods. | For 6months, i was on yasmin to clear my mild acne. when my acne cleared up i decided to go off of it. After going off i didnt get my period for 4 months, and i started breaking out on my forehead but all the side effects dissapeared. Once i got my period i went back on yasmin, only to re-gain the weight and all the symptoms. realizing that clearing up acne wasn't outweighing the side effects, i'm considering going on desogen after this month. (it's been 6 months since i went back on it, for a total of one year) | F | 21 | 6 months | 1/2/2007 | 1 | birth control and PCOS | Jittery the first two weeks didnt mind liked the extra energy and a complete psychotic mess the second two weeks my boyfriend thought i was losing my mind i was popping xanax like candy due to horrible anxiety attacks heart would start racing skipping beats, sweating so bad i had to change clothes 4 times in a day spoke with my doctor and she never even heard of anything like this what so ever so i actually referred her to this site because i thought i was going crazy until i found this site Ill add im also a nurse and i dont recommend this medication to anyone | F | 27 | 1 months | 12/27/2006 | 3 | contraception, painful periods | weight loss, skin improvement, lighter period, mood swings, anxiety, cramps disappeared, but so did my libido. | I am switching pills to Ortho Tri Cyclen as I was on it before with little problems, except slight weight gain and breast tenderness. I thought Yasmin would be great and have experienced some benefits, but the loss of sex drive is not worth it. I feel like less of a person. I never want to have sex, have lost any erotic sensibility, suffer painful vaginal dryness, and worried for a while that it was me or my relationship that was the problem. Normally I am a horn dog and have never had any problems before with my boyfriend of 4 years. This pill is a powerful anti-libido agent. Beware. However, be informed that all pills are potentially libido killing and everybody responds differently. It is recommended that if you have this problem with Yasmin to try a phastic oral contraceptive that delivers different amounts of hormones throughout the cycle. If that doesn't work, try the patch because it isn't processed through the liver so you don't produce the protein that binds the sex ho | F | 27 | 3 months | 12/20/2006 | 1 | Oral contriceptive | Pimples and nausea | F | 2 weeks | 12/19/2006 | 2 | birth control | Severe lack of libido, dry skin, scalp and hair, heart palpitations hyper emotional and panic attacks. | I've given Yasmin a year and its really not working for me - see side effects. The heart palpitations seem to get worse for 48 hours after drinking, too. I cry all of the time at the slightest thing. I really wouldn't recommend it. However, I've also had similar problems with microgynon and eugynon...i'm just going to try all of the different contraceptive pills and see what works! | F | 18 | 1 years | 12/15/2006 | 1 | birth control | Dry skin and hair. Especially dry eyes/eye strain. Headaches while on the placebo pills (that do not feel better with Advil.)I had chest pains for awhile, but have gone away. Eye twitches occasionally. Loss of sex drive. | F | 25 | 11 days | 12/14/2006 | 2 | Birth Control, period regulation | Gas pains, yeast infections, UTI, spotting/prolonged period. | I have been taking Yasmin for almost 2 years. I didn't have a problem with it until about the last 6 months. It all began with chronic yeast infections, bacterial infections, and UTIs. All of which I never had prior to this 6 months. I have also been spotting since November 25th with ridiculous cramps. Needless to say my obgyn has switched me to Loestrin 24.. hope this clears things up! | F | 25 | 2 years | 12/11/2006 | 1 | birth control | Trouble breathing, chest tightness, weird heart flutteryness, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, chronic nausea, sex drive decrease? | The breathing and heart troubles began first - but I though they were just b/c of my new ghetto apt, or too much caffeine. After over a year of constantly tweaking my diet and super charged cleaning efforts - my symptoms have only continued to get worse and now I am constantly nauseaous. Planned Parenthood website had a flag for the pill and that sent me on a net search. Glad to see I am not alone. Will be stopping this pill this week. | F | 26 | 450 days | 12/11/2006 | 1 | irregular, heavy periods. | muscle cramps, did not regulate period, exhaustion, thirst. | This pill is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had unbelieve muscle cramps. It did nothing to help my periods, absolutely nothing!!! The exhaustion and thirst were unbearable. I would never recommend this pill to anyone. The FDA shoudl recall it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | F | 33 | 6 months | 12/11/2006 | 5 | BC | YAZ - vomiting & stomach gurlging | only have been on it for a week. was wondering if these side effects subside. other than the vomitting and stomach pains i have no weight gain or other side effects. DOES ANYONE ON YAZ EXPERIENCE THIS TOO, AND DOES IT GO AWAY? | F | 20 | 7 days | 12/8/2006 | 5 | Birth Control | Yeast Infections at least once a month now! I've never really been prone to yeast infections and the discharge is intolerable. I'm not happy with this side effect :( | I've lost 10 LBS on Yasmin. I don't nearly as much. I have went up a cup size, and it has helped with my acne. However, I'm starting to have recurrent yeast infections. | F | 23 | 6 months | 12/7/2006 | 1 | Birth Control | Nausea, Intense Head Aches, Horrible Mood Swings, Anxiety, Short Temper, No Labido, Dry Skin, Acne Break Outs (never had a problem before) | My body simply responded horribly to this drug, although I realize every pill responds differently to each woman. I'm now on Junel Fe 1/20 and have virtually no side effects at all, it's been wonderful. | F | 19 | 2 months | 12/7/2006 | 2 | Birth control. | Yaz- no periods (how am I supposed to know it's working?), dramatic weight gain, NO sex drive whatsoever, insatiable thirst, extremely moody. | I've been taking Yaz for about 6 months now, and I'm switching back to OTC Lo; I don't care if it's $50 a month. | F | 22 | 6 months | 12/6/2006 |
