"as several people have already said, the majority of reviews i read for yaz scared me almost to the point of reconsidering my choice of pill.  however, i decided to just give it a shot, and i have found very few problems.  my skin cleared up, besides a few pimples around my period, i gained maybe 5 pounds (my breasts got larger, but who&#039;s complaining), and as someone who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder, i have found no issues.  there are only two negatives that i have found: if you forget to take a pill, you start spotting. my friends who take yaz have similar experiences.  the other negative is that i tend to get a little moody around my period. overall, i would definitely recommend this pill for acne and birth control."
