My 17 year old daughter recently started yaz and took it for 12 days before we stopped it. She was prescribed it as she was to do a month long trip to India with a school group and the convenience of not havig a period was her reason. The day prior to starting yaz she had a headache of “normal” type. She is not a migraine sufferer and only occasionally gets a shortlived headache sometimes reqiring panadol. The day after she started her period and started on yaz. She has had a constant headache ever since. She has had numerous investigations including MRI brain and neck both normal. Tried numerous medications and physical therapies with no effect. She has now had the headache nearly 11 weeks and stopped yax over 9 weeks ago. She is physically exhausted and tired and unable to concentrate. She is normally a straight A student and about to do her final school year next year. This has been devastating. Has anyone else had a similar experience and could this still be a result of the Yaz exarcerbating an otherwise “normal” headache. Can anyone suggest what to do, we are still consulting a variety of doctors
