Yaz Side Effects

I was reading the comments on Lo Loestrin Fe birth control pills and the side effects seem similar to mines. Some periods were short and some periods were longer (from 2 days to 5 days) and on other periods, I missed one in between. In my head, I thought these pills don't work as well as the other pills offered with other gynocologists. I actually stopped taking the pills because I was afraid the pills might mess my hornomanl system up. Hope there is some people who can easily say that there is birth control with advising to notice (diet changes and condoms). ## All oral contraceptives, as well as the shots and Mirena IUD are hormonal based and can mess up your natural hormonal balance. That is just what happens, when you add synthetic hormones to your body and unfortunately, even d...

Can Dormonoct have an effect on the effectiveness of yaz? ## Hello, Suzanne! How are you? No, Dormonoct contains the active ingredient Loprazolam, which is a benzodiazepine that's used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders and it will not affect your contraceptive. It does, however, carry the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

So last year I was on yaz and after about 3 months, I started having cramps and gas and always felt like my stomach wasnt settled. My mom thought I was lactose intolerant but when I stopped my pills over summer, my stomach was back to normal. Now I am on yaz again and after 2 months the same thing is happening with my stomach. Has anyone else experienced this with yaz? Should I be worried. I think I am going to ask my doctor to switch. ## Hello, Marz! How are you? Has there been any change? Those can be side effects of oral contraceptives, according to the NIH. You may also experience headache, PMS-like symptoms, and spotting. Speaking to your doctor about switching to a different one is most likely a good idea. With many medications, it is a matter of trial and error to find one that w...

Ive been on Yaz for two years and hae suffered some awful side effects, heres a link that helped me out alot and gave me some great info: "(December 8, 2011) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will ask outside experts on Thursday about Yaz and several other birth control pills that contain a man-made hormone called drospirenone, which was heavily marketed as carrying fewer side effects than the earlier drugs. But over the last two years, several large, independent studies suggest the rate of blood clots with drugs with the hormone is slightly higher than with other drugs. Most recent analysis by the FDA looked at medical records of 800,000 US women and found that the risk of a blood clot with drospirenone-containing pills was higher than other hormone-based contraceptives. The o...

Erythromycin caused me bad side effects i took them for jus 1 day as i couldnt cope with them. How long wil it take to get out my system? ## Hello, Yaz! How are you? What side effects did you experience? The FDA lists the typical ones for this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. If you only took it for one day, it shouldn't take more than a couple days for things to settle down. However, you should consult your prescriber, as you may need to try a different antibiotic. ## I have been on 750 mg for 7 days.I complained to my doctor about the side effects It is a horrible drug,I would not recommend or advise anyone to take.I have 3 more pills left.But the bucks stop here that's it for me.

Hi there i just started taking oralcon, since my bf says he doesn't a baby, is the pill going to help with my acne and a little bit of weight gain and shaping my breast.....? I used to use yaz pill and it made me depressed hence i changed to this one.... ## Yes, it can sometimes have such side effects, as listed by the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, spotting and PMS-like symptoms. There are no guarantees that it will, but it is possible. Is there anything else I can help with?

Birth Control Pills ## this med was prescribed for severe menstrual cramps at age 16. I have been taking it for 2 and a half years. I am experiencing tiredness stomach aches, just not feeling well. I have had some blood work done and so far nothing has come up abnormal, can this med be making me feel bad? ## Oh, yes. It also caused weight gain and other side effects. There is a new pill called Yaz that my doctor switched me to, you might try that one. It's worked wonders. I hope that it helps. ## Hello I've been using the oval 28 pills for a month now I have stomach cramps and feeling tired I nce took a pregnancy test but my result was negetive now I don't know what to do is this normal

Hi. I have been using yaz for about 7 months but switched to oralcon. I am currently at my second red pill of the month but I haven't started my cycle yet. I do have extreme cramps, breast tenderness and tiredness but there is no signs of my cycle. I have taken it religiously, and have used extra protection during intimacy with my husband, however we are not ready for children and now we are worried that there might be a chance of pregnancy. ## Irregular cycles can be a normal side effect of oral contraceptives, according to NIH studies, some women even stop having periods entirely, while taking them. Other side effects may include nausea, headache, mood changes, and weight changes. However, the only way to really be sure is by checking for pregnancy. Are you on any other medication...

I was on 10mg of Nuzak a day for about two years. I was also on Yaz. I stopped using both similtaneously. I did read up on symptoms that occur so I was prepared for it but I'm beginning to wonder how long they last for? The most annoying is the "brain-shocks". I've been off both medications now for about 3 weeks, but this week the "brainshocks" have actually become more frequent?! I don't feel myself at all. I have this general feeling of being unwell and tired. When is it going to stop? ## The 'brainshocks' are most likely from stopping the Nuzak, since it contains Fluoxetine, which is an SSRI antidepressant. Learn more Nuzak details here. And though the withdrawal effects tend to gradually taper off, it may take over a month for you to really start ...
