Yaz-Birth-Control
Will discountinuing Yaz birth control relieve side effects or cause weight gain?
I have been on Yaz birth control for about 7 months now in hopes to clear up my acne and decrease my cramps. Sure enough my face is clear and my cramps are gone. However, after extreme side effects such as: weight gain, skin rash, breast tenderness, and mood swings, I decided it would be best to come off the pill. Has anyone experienced any problems with coming off Yaz. Is it possible to drop the weight gained on the Yaz when coming off? Thank you all!

- WOW! I had the exact same symptoms as you, as well as horrible migraines, and nausea. I was on Yaz for almost 4 months and had to switch back to ortho tri cyclen....I did lose the weight I had gained with Yaz...it took about a month or so to lose it. The reason I gained weight on Yaz was because I was nauseous all day and could only eat at dinner. Therefore, sleeping on my one BIG meal of the day (the worst thing I could have done!) caused my weight gain, but I would have been sick if I ate during the day. Hopefully for you, getting off of yaz will help you tremendously. Although everyone reacts differently, I felt better emotionally within a week of being off of that mess!! Good luck!!
- I expierenced quite the complete opposite!! I LOVE this pill. It is the best. I lost weight, (6-9lbs) and have nearly no PMS while on it and my iron level is much better. I guess it really depends on your body chemistry. It may be that once you stop taking it that you will drop the weight. I would reccommend you speak with your doctor before discontinuing. When I got off Ortho-Tri Cyclen I gained about 20-30 lbs in 6 mos. Good Luck!
