Yaz vs yasmin side effects
Common Questions and Answers about Yaz vs yasmin side effects
yaz
3-4 different kinds of pills, the patch, the shot and I had terrible side effects for all of those including worse pains, numbness, and my entire leg and arm tingling and going numb. But on Yaz there were no side effects and all my cysts were gone.
But remember, everyone is different. Hope this was helpful!
I was on YAZ for about a year without any "side effects", until the last two months. I've had out of cycle bleeding (mostly spotting) before my period. The doctor switched me to Yasmin, which has a higher dose of estrogen. She said that'd stop the spotting. So far.. so good.
But she said it's not uncommon w/ YAZ to have these issues.
Hope that helps.
I have heard about Yaz and Yasmin causing more of a risk for blood clots in women....BUT (yes there is a but) almost all birth control pills can cause blood clots especialy if you have had them before, or have had a family history of them. If your nurse wants you to switch to a genric then you can still take Yasmin (but it would be Ocella). It's the same thing.
I've always had good luck with Yaz and Yasmin. Yaz has fewer side effects and most people can tolerate it and it works. However- everyone's body is different, and until they get the hormone balance right, you could have spotting, etc. I can say, that most likely- there is a pill out there that you could tolerate.
Good luck.

Hello there,
I've heard from more than one source that the bc pill Yaz also sold as
Yasmin, same stuff, is dangerous. If Yaz is causing you to be depressed,
with panic attacks and anxiety, I would suggest getting of Yaz altogether,
with the help of your family doctor. Wouldn't even finish the end of the
package of Yaz. I've heard it can cause blood clots. Seeing as you had
unprotected sex with your boyfriend, this would be a good time for a
doctor's visit. Good luck.
I used to be on Desogen (before my two kids) and did really well on it--no problems, light periods, no side effects. I told my GYN this....why was I stuck on YAZ? Anyway, are these symptoms dangerous? Should I really wait out the month or would that be risky? To me, anything to do with the heart isn't something to mess with. I'm also very atheletic and and worried about the palps + exercise.
Yeah I have heard alot of bad things about Yaz including commercials from lawyers saying you can get money if you or someone you know was hurt or killed by taking it, it sounds like a pretty bad pill. I think that's what I'm going to do, I was on Tri cylen lo when I was a teenager and it was good maybe I'll go back to that one. Thanks for the advice!
Hi Mils86,
I'm extremely familiar with Yasmin and it's post-side-effects. I was on the pill for 7 years before I decided to come off of it and let my body regulate itself out, much like what you're wanting to do. About three months after coming off of the pill, my cycles were highly irregular and I experienced similar symptoms to what you're describing.
Your symptoms sound very much like what I went through on Yaz. Both Yasmin and Yaz have a different kind of progestin than other bcps. I was on Yaz for six months, and started having anxiety attacks about once a month. Then after I quit I felt better for a while, but it seems like at 3 months off and six months off things would get worse for a period of time.
Like Ginger said above, you may need to try to take extra care of yourself: taking vitamins, eating healthy, exercise and rest.
