I started Yaz in 2008. I have been experiencing increased heart palpitations and now the doctor told me I have a murmur. When I exercise I get dizzy and short of breath. I’m worried. I’ve taken myself off the Yaz.

I have had three tumors removed from my liver, two the size of grapefruits, one the size of a baseball, my gall bladder was removed, went to the hosp three times in 2 months because of kidney infections, I have been diagnosed with SVT, and I have had 2 heart attacks, my resting heart rate is 101, now tell me, how could this have happened to a 20 yr old who is otherwise healthy if not taking those pills?
I already have lawyers on it, I advise you all to do the same.
STOP taking those pills PLEASE. I have been through so much because of those stupid tumors on my liver, and now I have a large scar to show off in my bikini. NOT fun!

I started taking yaz last february… I stopped just short of a year due to feelings of just insane paranoid thoughts. It was like for a week and a half each month there was this voice in my head saying things were going bad, i’d cry all day, feel like every action from people around me were rejection. I had bad headaches also, sharp pains in the right side of my head, from time to time a prickly feeling in my legs and arms, tired, very tired. I am 42 and nonsmokng, overweight but fairly healthy woman. I stopped taking it after talking to my boyfriend, well more like breaking down and telling him i was loosing my mind, and had been going through a personal hell each month. After stopping the feelings have gone away, I still have headaches but the feelings of doom stopped immediately. Nasty stuff.

I started taking Yazmin over 2 years ago. I started to have horrible headaches in the entire left side of my face that would put me out for days. I thought it might be sinus related so I went to the allergist and was put on allergy shots, when that didn’t work I went to get a cat scan, nothing was wrong. I went to an accupunturist, that didn’t work, went back to the doctor again and again and another cat scan,still nothing was wrong. I then started to experience vision loss in my left eye. I finally decided to stop taking Yazmin to see if all the symptoms would stop and they did. Don’t take Yazmin.

I started on Yaz for acne which it cleared up but I had break through bleeding that bugged me. Lab results suggested I needed more hormones so they gave me Yasmin. I have bled heavy every day of this entire month now. Is this normal? I don’t want to get pregnant or have acne but I definitely don’t want to bleed every day of my life either. Any other suggestions for a good birth control pill?

I was taking Yaz in 2006 and I started having really sharp pains in my ovaries ,so I went back to my OB doctor and he had ordered an ultrasound test for my ovaries and I forgot to drink the 34oz water that your suppose to drink to help the image show up better , I only drank 2 cups of water , so when I went back to do my ultrasound I told the lady how much water I drank and she said that the test might not show anything but when I got done with the test and the results were given to the doctor he called me right away telling me that I had a cyst on my ovaries and he requested that I have surgery to remove the cyst , so that following week I went to do the surgery and when it was finished he told me the cyst was as big as a tennis ball and had a full cup of blood inside. I was in so much pain for two weeks and had to take pain medication and even after the surgery I was in pain and still was on pain medication for two weeks. I was wondering if the cyst was a result from using the birth control Yaz?

I took Yaz in 2008 for maybe six months; not sure exactly how long. December 2008 I ended up in the ER due to stroke symptoms. I was/am a healthy and a non-smoker.

I took Yasmin for over 5 years. I got off of it to start trying for a baby. One day after my daughter was born I started having horrible pains. I dealt with this pain for 6 weeks. Come to find out, my gallbladder was in the worst shape that the doctor had ever seen and I had tons of gall stones. It was removed and now I am on a different medication. I am pursuing a lawsuit against Beyer because I am a very active and healthy 25 year old.

I took Yaz for about 6 months after my son was born. I have been having trouble breathing and sharp pains after eating. I am currently undergoing several tests to check my gallbladder. I have sludge in my gb and have to have a HIDA scan in the morning. May be looking at surgery to have gallbladder removed.

I started taking yaz either when I was 16 years old for my extremely painful and lengthy periods. It helped with those symptoms but I noticed that I got dizzy and felt lightheaded a lot. I was going to give blood at a drive at my school but when they took my pulse it was 115 and it had to be in a 90-100 range at max. So about 4 months ago I went to the doctor and they found I had an abnormally fast heart beat at rest for a teenager. My pulse was 80-90 beats at rest (I wish I could post what my bloodpressure was but I can’t remember the exact numbers). I’m now on blood pressure medicine and I had no previous problems until I took yaz. I wish I hadn’t taken it. I’m now 18 years old and I’m on blood pressure medicine, isn’t that horrible? I also had hormone problems when I came off of yaz. My emotions were all over the place, I became depressed, and was briefly having thoughts of suicide. I spoke to a counselor and she helped me work out a lot of my emotions but some days I would wake up and just cry for no reason and others I was so angry. The hormones really messed with me.

I had taken yasmin for 2 years and got off of it because I was always so tired. Two weeks after getting off the medication I woke up in the middle of the night with HORRIBLE chest pain. Two hours later the pain was getting worse and my husband took me to the hospital. Once we got to the hospital it was all a blur… I was told that my admitting BP was 60/30 (which is near dead), my pulse was 45 (again, near dead), and I was “crashing”. My husband said my eyes were rolling back in my head and all he could see was the white of my eyes. You should now that I am in good shape and take EXCELLENT care of myself, the only time (before this) that I have ever been hospitalized was to have my tonsils removed and to have my daughter. I have NEVER had any sort of medical issue, EVER! So this was a shock for me! After being monitored over night I was released and haven’t had problems since. I REALLY believe it was from the birth control!

a few months ago i had a 9 week period after getting off of yaz randomly, and i began taking it again and ever since then i have not had a period that hasnt been exessive or lasted for like 4 weeks and i have lately been having (for the past 3 weeks) a black period, that happened after my normal one ( which isnt ever normal anyways) ended. is this a side effect of yaz?

I was on yaz and have since gone off it because it has caused incredibly heavy bleeding and passing dollar bill size blood clots…its the worst pill ever!
