hi,
thank you for your query.

Yaz contains Drospirenone - ethinyl estradiol is a progestin (drospirenone) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol).Its a combination birth control pill used to prevent pregnancy.

This medication works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and by causing changes in the mucus of the cervix.

common side effects are-

*Absence of Menstrual Periods
*Irregular Periods
*Bleeding Not Related to Menstrual Period
*Breast Tenderness     
*acne (usually less common after 3 months of treatment, and may improve if acne already exists)
*back pain
*low energy

The WITHDRAWAL side-effects are-
1.depression
2.migraines
3.anxiety
4.nausea
5.fatigue

i would suggest you to-
-eat healthy.steer clear of things that are traditionally difficult to digest – dairy and breads
-exercise in moderation
-Test Hormone Levels
-daily intake of vitamins
-regular sleep schedules.

thank you,
wishing you good health
