Dangers of Yaz Birth Control

Please read about new developments with Yaz birth control and FDA warnings. I have taken the drug and was doing well on it but decided that there has not been enough testing for long terms of use and evaluation of high risk side effects.

Hello everyone!

I use Yaz for 1 year. I did not have any anxiety or fainting. It did wonders for my skin(I had minor acne problem) and shortened my period to 4 days. The only bad effect was that I gained 1 kg despite regular exercise and a clean diet.

Now after all the bad things I read about Yaz, I'm considering quitting. But my no 1 worry is that I will lose this baby skin and return to my old acne problem.
I need opinions and experience on this issue. If anyone with acne problem had quit Yaz , please write me! What happened to your skins after quitting Yaz?

Health Canada documents now link two popular birth-control pills
to the deaths of at least 23 young Canadian women.

Those deaths -- mostly due to blood clots -- are among 600
negative reactions reported by women taking Yaz and Yasmin since
2007 and until this past February.

A class-action lawsuit has been launched against Bayer.

But Bayer is standing by the safety of its contraceptives.

Without admitting liability, the company has paid about
1.2-billion dollars to settle thousands of lawsuits related to the
products in the U-S
