Please let me know if a class-action lawsuit is ever filed against this Pharm Co because I will file a suit to get this dangerous drug off the market. Yasmin/Yaz almost took my life in January 08. My OB/GYN put me on Yaz in Oct 07 for bad periods and cysts on my overies. Within a month my entire personality changed and I started losing my hair. I experienced a complete loss of sex drive, became depressed and was either constanting crying or raging at someone. However, my adult acne did clear up. On 1/27/08 I experienced extreme pain in my calf that moved up to my thigh within 48 hrs. I went to the ER and was told that no only did I a condition called DVT (Deep Vein Thrombisis-blood clot) in my leg but that the clot had broken off and moved into both of my lungs and I had bi-lateral pulmonary embolism. I can't even describe how incredibly painful this was. I was admitted into the hospital for 1 week and was put on powerful blood thinners, which I will be on for about a year. It's now been nearly 6 months since I was diagnosed and the DVT and it is still in my uppper thigh. But am grateful to be alive. If you would like to contact me I would be glad to answer any questions regarding this situation and my email addy is ****** PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YAZ OR YASMIN OR LET ANYONE IN YOUR FAMILY TAKE THIS MED, IT COULD KILL YOU.

my gyno recommended i switch to yaz and after a month of taking it i developed a blood clot in my right lung and had to be hospitalized for a week in may of this year. it too was extremely painful and it couldnt have come at a worse time. my mom was in the hospital dying when i had extreme pain in my chest and went to the ER. they diagnosed me with the pulmonary embolism and i lost a precious week with my mom because i was admitted. she died the night after i was discharged. i am trying to get a class action lawsuit started. i have worked at a law office for the past 2 years and know an excellent personal injury lawyer looking to take on a case like this. I have been to many other sites and found women who have had the same problems and have posted this on many other sites. please email me at apopa@eden.rutgers.edu with your name and email address where you can be reached. A class action lawsuit requires many plaintiffs so i need a lot of women to be willing to participate. I have already gotten a few emails but this type of lawsuit requires more that that. please help me and yourself.

I'm feeling all the same thing. I feel like I'm going crazy, no sex drive, depression, mood swings, happy one minute sad the next, love my fiance but can't show him, just moved in together and feel unhappy about it, 2 weeks ago all I wanted was for us to get our own place. How long after you quit taking YAZ did you start to feel normal?
