Birth Control
"I used Yaz for about a year and it was obviously effective for preventing pregnancy and it did clear up my skin but for me there were a few negative side effects.  It took a while for me to realize it was the Yaz causing the problems.  I suddenly had very brittle dry hair that would break off and it just didn&#039;t seem to grow very much.  My cuticles became very dry which caused my nails to become more apt to breakage.  My eyes were very dry and I had to use eye drops several times a day.  I have been off of Yaz for about 3 weeks and already my hair is so much healthier and seems to be growing back in and my nails have not broken in a few weeks.  I have gone from using eye drops a few times a day to a few times a week.  The down side of being off of Yaz is my skin has broken out more but I can deal with that better than all the other symptoms."
