Hi,
I'm on my 2nd pack of YAZ bcp's. I am 9 days into this pack and I am strongly considering quitting them today.
Here's why:
Month 1- severe moodswings, increased horrible migraines, and the world's worst AF, constant muscle and joint pain,weird heart beat -it's like it skips a beat sometimes now.
Month 2 - exact same as month 1, even worse.

Since I started YAZ, I have had problems with shortness of breath. I am a smoker andI have cut down considerably (before YAZ), and have never had this kind of a problem. I also suffer from Anxiety and my panic attacks have gotten much worse, to the point where I can't take a shower without having one (weird, I know). I was on Ortho TriCyclen for years and did fine. I don't see the DR till Feb. so I wanted to get some advice before I call him.

I am also prescribed to Adderall 40mg and since I'm having such a problem with my breathing, I really want to stop taking YAZ. I am convinced that YAZ is causing all of these problems, as I have been on Adderall and all of my other Meds MUCH longer and I have never had anything happen like this. I actually just lost 40 pounds so I KNOW I shouldn't be this out of breath!

Sorry this is so long, I guess my question is: has anyone stopped their BCP's in the middle of the pack, and if so-what happened?
Has anyone experienced side effects like this on BCP's or YAZ in particular?
