I have been taking Yaz for almost 5 months, and I have noticed a huge increase in my moodiness. I have always been somewhat of an anxious/stressed person, but it has gotten MUCH worse. I cry at the drop of a hat (seriously, the tiniest situations will make me a total mess now). I have also experienced a huge dip in my sex drive (I guess that means it's working to prevent pregnancy, huh?!), and I have put on some weight due to the munchies it is causing. This is the first birth control I've ever taken, and I am not impressed. My periods have regulated (before, they were VERY sporadic), but they are not much lighter/shorter than before. While I have not broken out more than normal, I have also not seen an improvement in my skin. I'm also experiencing some eye problems that may or may not be unrelated. I plan to quit taking birth control altogether if I have to continue like this (since taking this pill, I haven't had any desire to have sex anyway!). If you haven't done so already, I would contact your daughter's doctor to see if she can get on something else. I know I will.
