For Birth Control "I switched from Mononessa to Yaz. After the horrible experience I had with Mononessa, Yaz was amazing! It was all good until the beginning of my 4th year of being on it. My body got used to Yaz. I noticed a drastic change in my sex drive (like no sex drive at all, my poor BF), insane mood swings, and starting to feel sadness. I went to the doctor today, actually, and asked her to switch, and now I am trying Microgestin in one month after I get my period again. I am nervous since I am reading a lot about the weight gain, mood swings, and low sex drive involved with Microgestin, which is what I'm trying to get away from. But the good thing is, I can always go back and keep trying since there are thousands of birth controls out there. Good luck!"

For Acne "I was on Yaz as a kid, then they switched me to Tri-Linyah. Tri-Linyah kept my acne at bay, but my sex drive dropped over the years and I didn't want to have any sex. So I switched back to Yaz, and my sex drive increased, but so did my acne. And it's the deep, painful acne. Not sure if it's the hormonal switch or not. But it's quite aggravating."

For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "My mood swings were worse than before, and I had no sex drive. My zits got worse, and my breasts hurt all the time."

For Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder "Helped my PMDD a lot. Only side effects were weight gain and a loss of sex drive."

For Birth Control "Yaz did not work for me, it is an excellent birth control, but my sex drive went down, and it caused me terrible headaches, gained weight, and felt tired all the time."

For Birth Control "Ever since I started to use Yaz, I have gotten night sweats that are horrible. I wake up drenched, and I have a loss of sex drive, and I'm only 18, so that's not good."
