"i&#039;ve been taking yaz for 3 months now and i absolutely love it. i&#039;ve lost weight, without trying, and my periods have greatly decreased in heaviness and severity. i have not experienced any of the bad side effects like depression or tiredness, i wake up happy and ready to go. the only difference i&#039;ve noticed that is not so great is that the first day of taking the placebo pill i tend to be emotional, but that usually clears up by the second day.  also, if i miss a pill i usually have stomach pain until i take it, which is actually a nice reminder to take it. i love yaz though and cannot say enough good things about it."
