ve always taken it for a few months, then stopped. I started
YAZ about 6 months ago and only lasted about 2 months
on it before quitting (my face broke out, i hated the way it made me feel,etc). At my most recent Gynecology visit about 3 months ago, I told my gynecologist that I had quit taking the YAZ. She was upset and said expressed how important it is for me to have a period each month. She prescribed to another birth control to try out to see if I respond to better.
