View Full Version : Yaz - pushing me overboard?

I started Yaz 2 weeks ago (today is 1st day of week 3). I think it is pushing me over the edge. I was on the Depo shot for close to 12 years which is entirely too long. Yaz sounded perfect!
It has become a true struggle for me. I am EXTREMELY moody, bitchy is not the word for it! I have been waking up with leg cramps, getting migranes, breast tenderness, and just feel like crap most of the time. I keep saying it is because the depo is still wearing itself out of my system and I am gettting too many hormones.
Am I tricking myself or will these symptoms stop eventually? I just want to be happy and feel NORMAL. Can my body adjust to Yaz? I need to know what i should do before Yaz causes me to get divorced! Please help!

Breast tenderness and maybe headaches, too, are normal with any pill and go away with time. The moodiness is caused by a depletion of B vitamins. All birth control pills deplete these vitamins and can cause mood problems in some people because of it. Taking a B complex vitamin usally helps. The leg cramps are something else entirely, though. That's something that's listed under 'pill warning signs'. I wouldn't mess around with that one, could be a sign of a blood clot, I would switch pills.

Thanks for the advice! I take a multi-vitiman daily, but It still may not be enough! I just feel completly awful! My entire body feels like I spent hours at the gym (definately did not!) I think you are right, I may need to get off Yaz. I was hoping that the symptoms would go away with my body adjusting to the pill. Better to be safe than sorry! Thanks again!
