"i was initially on yaz for about 6 years then stopped because i was getting migraines. the whole 6 years my skin was flawless. i quit taking it jan 2015 and it is now aug 2015. my skin is unbearable i don&#039;t even recognize myself. i got back on gianvi (generic yaz) and i&#039;m hoping it will work again. i&#039;m experiencing like 10-15 cysts at once and lowest self-esteem in my life. i can&#039;t tell if the birth control is going to help anytime soon. i am only on week 2 and losing hope."
