"first of, let me say i am a pharmacy technician. i was on yaz for about 5 months. it was okay. it wasn&#039;t strong enough to stop my periods until about 4 days into a new pack, it didn&#039;t do much for my skin, and it was $40/ month because there is no generic. i only kept taking it because it didn&#039;t make me nauseous (i am very sensitive to nausea).
after $40/month was a little too much, i went to my doctor and wanted to be put on ocella because it would only be $10/month and it has the same hormones as yaz which didn&#039;t make me sick, but it was 0.01mg stronger, which made me a little nervous. but i tried it, didn&#039;t make me sick at all, cleared my skin up, periods start and stop on time, no cramps, cheaper generic, and i lost 17 lbs! love it!"
