I just started Yaz on Sunday night, and, I've been getting really bad hot flashes, and I'm sweating and feeling sick. I looked it up, and I think those are normal side effects, but, can anyone who's taken Yaz tell me for sure? And, if they are, how long will they last? It's driving me insane, because it's winter and cold, yet I feel like I'm going to pass out from being hot and nauseous. Thanks!
I haven't been able to sleep. So, basically I'm always unrested and tired the whole day (not good with two kids aged 1 & 2). I get headaches way more often. I've been emotional, I experience weird feelings of irrational rage. The worst of all - the hot flashes. There was one day where I literally sweated for 8 hours. I had the air condition turned all the way up. My poor kids were freezing and even my menopausing mother was cold. I stuck my head in the freezer and it had no effect.
Hot flashes is indicative of high blood pressure. Definitely not good.

I KNWO WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT!! i went to my gyno on friday and was like DUDE WHATS THE DEAL!!! im practially falling over dying from heat and im pitting out my shirts and everywhere. and i got reaaaallly dizzy and pukey feeling and bad headaches. i have now been on it for two months and a week. it pretty much goes away after a month. the hot flashes get alot less frequent and they arent so severe. dizzy went away and the puking went away. i hope that helped. deffiently talk withy our doctor the next time even if they go away they should make a note of it because alot of medicines have the same side effects so they can watch you in the future. good luck and keep with ti cause i swear it gets better [ Rosie2000's advice column | Ask Rosie2000 A Question ]

to call your doctors office and talk to
his nurse. They will know best if it is
side effects that will go away or if
they need to try you on something else.
It won't cost you anything, and since you
have recently had an office visit they
probably won't need you to come back in.:) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
