"my doctor suggested i go on yaz after a good 8 years of being on a previous pill and basically experiencing acne the entire time.  anyway, i&#039;ve been on yaz for a month. i&#039;m glad i read reviews before because i probably would have given up and fully entered a hermit life if i didn&#039;t know that a major breakout the first month or two is normal. i have gotten acne in places i&#039;ve never had before - along my jaw line, even on my neck. it&#039;s terrifying and i&#039;m only hanging in there based on the people that swear by month 3 is gets better. however, i will say, i am happy with having experienced no other side effects. weight has never been a problem for me, but i actually lost 5 pounds. here&#039;s hoping that month 2 and 3 brings better luck!"
