YAZ : Oral Contraceptive

totally worth it. inexpensive, multitasking, minimal side effects. No nausea, which is awesome, especially for the pill. i saw results after about one month (one pack).

After about 3 months on Yaz, i saw a noticeable improvement in my skin. My face was less oily, pimples were reduced, and i didnt break out all over as often. I was willing to try anything at 21 -- but it was not magic. I felt sick to my stomach every day -- i tried toughing it out but it never went away. I felt moody and I would be highly sensitive (I especially realize this in retrospect since i have stopped the medication). I would still recommend it because everyone will have different side effects, and you may experience less nausea -- it doesnt really hurt to try. For me, the side effects were difficult to live with on a day-to-day basis, even though my acne improved tremendously and my self esteem went up. About a month after getting off the pill, my original "T zone" and extreme oiliness came back and eventually (~2 months later) so did my pimples.

with every medicine your going to have your pro's and con's. I am 20 years old & have been on BC since I was 15 due to severe cyst on my ovaries. I have been on alyse, avian & seasonal before (which was HORRIBLE-I gained 15 pounds in 1 week and it was all from retaining fluid which made me look like a balloon!) and i definatly recomend this pill before any. Personally, I would choose to have a couple head aches once in a blue moon to have a promising non-pregnancy, great full looking breast, lighter periods & clearer skin- I have never expierenced sudden changes in my moods thus far- The price is a little high but when you put everything together (acne medication, cramp medicine, bloating medicine, prevention of pregnancy, even breat implants) you come out saving a bundle! Everyone's body responds differently so I recomend giving it a shot for 3 months, time to allow your body to adjust! So far, I have been very satisfied

i switched to this pill because ortho was making my anxiety bad and ive always had terrible anxiety. i was really excited to try this since its supposed to get rid of it... ive been disappointed. i cant get more than 5 hours of sleep, im crying constantly, anxiety attacks have not gotten any better. but like i said, ive only been on it for a couple of days..its just hard with the emotional instability, it makes it tough to "ride it out".

I love Yaz! It took a little while, but after sticking with it my skin has cleared up a lot. I am in my fourth month, so I occasionally still get small pimples, but they are nothing compared to the painful cysts I was getting before. The small increase in cramping is worth the clearer skin, and honestly, the cramping is not too bad. I would definitely recommend Yaz if you are thinking about trying accutane but want to rule everything else out first. Also, it is important to stick with it, during the first month I wanted to give up, but I am glad that I didn't.

I'm on my 3rd month and still breaking out really badly! Anyone know how long it will take to work? Its actually made my acne a whole lot worse so i'm loosing hope :(

I didn't start getting acne until a year ago. I could totally tell there was a change in my hormones. I started to slowly get acne worse and worse. My doctor first tried epiduo and an antibiotic. The epiduo worked great for my comedonal but nothing was stopping my cystic acne! Antibiotics don't work for hormonal acne, you must have something for your hormones. After two months of YAZ and Epiduo my skin looks so much better!!! I have started only using powder make. Before I would not let anyone see me with out liquid and powder. I cant wait until I can feel comfortable make up free! Combination is key!

for some reason i have been struggling with acne for years to the point where i feel im just disgusting. I've started taking the pill breaking out a bit but it gets worse before it gets better as i have heard. i hope this works because i have given up

I didn't have the worst skin ever, but it was being a downer on my life. I tried every treatment then I went on anti biotics stopped that, and I have been on the pill since July 2012 and my aim was to be CLEAR by October 2012 (formal). It did take a while to kick in, but it's so worth the wait! When formal came around I was so happy! Clear smooth skin hardly had to put any make up on! It was great I felt great, my self esteem was up 100%. I highly recommend YAZ if not any other pill! Good luck

I will not recommend this product, i have never felt this bad in my life. It put me in the hospital for days.
