YAZ : Oral Contraceptive

I talking to my derm and she said it can be a cycle and it might start working again and im praying it will has anyone else had the same reaction to it?

Ortho-tri cyclen lo!!!!!

I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT. I WAS TAKING THIS PILL FOR 4 DAYS ON THE FOURTH DAY I ALMOST COLLAPSED WHILE STANDING IN CLASS. MIND YOU I DONT SMOKE, DRINK OR TAKE ANY OTHER MEDICATION. PRIOR TO THIS i STARTED CRYING RANDOMLY AND FEELING LIKE I WANTED TO GAG. SIPPED ON SOME WATER AND COULDN'T EVEN KEEP IT DOWN. I STOPPED TAKING THE PILLS RIGHT AWAY AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE! BEWARE! I UNDERSTAND EVERY FEMALE IS NOT THE SAME BUT ANY PILL THAT IS MESSING WITH YOUR BODY CAN DO LONG TERM DAMAGE. IF U ARE CONSIDERING TAKING THIS PILLS PLEASE DO UR RESEARCH AND CONSIDER OTHER PILL/METHODS OF BC...GOOD LUCK!

Don't use it. I never had serious skin problems before this medication. Not only did it make me crazy for the 2 months I was on it, I now have serious acne on my face, jawline, shoulders, and right along my spinal cord down my back. Worst medicine I have ever taken. Biggest regret of my life.

I went on yaz primarily for my acne. I was told by my doctor to wait three months before seeing results. During those three months my skin got progressively worse, it never got better. My skin has never looked so bad. I have red scarring all over my chin and cheeks. I am very upset because before going on yaz my skin was clear... i would only get a few pimples around the time of my period.I would not recommend yaz to anyone.

I took Yaz for the recommended three months, but I didn't see any improvement in my skin, it appeared to get much worse over time, and it was not worth the crazy emotions it was putting me through. However, I know a lot of women have luck with this pill and it did a good enough job of regulating my periods, so I would still recommend trying it.

Yaz was okay for birth control and PMS for me... other than that it was a pain in the butt. It made my acne a lot worse than it was! Here's a tip for everyone starting on this pill... if your acne actually seems to get better when your on your period. Then this pill isn't working for you. Plus the adverse effects are just nasty, I was reading about many women who had to be sent to the hospital with pulmonary embolisms, and blood clots or who's liver was damaged, and they had been on other birth control pills that had not caused those things. Thats just scary! Everyone's body is different, Yaz apparently just hated my face :( Hopefully it works better for others!

i have had horrible acne since 8TH grade & i have been on accutane THREE times. i am currently finishing up my third treatment, and my skin right now is very clear, love it! every time i end accutane, my acne comes back almost immediatley, i've tried everything you can even immagine. now im trying birth control, and i chose YAZ, i've only been on it for about a week, and i havn't seen any pro's or con's. i'll keep you guys posted.

The side effects that occured so shortly of trying it really made me not want to continue. My breasts were too painful and just felt very swollen. I also like most normal people, prefer not to be nauseated at night.I was suprised that i didnt feel bloated or gain weight especiallly with the breast problems. I wouldnt reccomend this bc for those with bigger breasts or if you have stomach issues.

I realize YAZ works differently for everyone, but it is NOT working well for me!! My skin was clear & I was just working on having old scars dissappear....now I feel like I have to start all over again!!! I have not had acne this bad since high school!! I am 28 years old and acne should be the least of my concerns at this point!!
