Contraceptive pill as treatment

I have been on the pill yaz as a way of treating my GI Endometriosis. For the past 3 months everything has been fine and for the first time in over a decade I have experienced what it is like to not be constantly nauseous or in pain. Then it just stopped working. Suddenly I am cramping, feeling sick and always so very exhausted. Has anyone else experienced this? or had other treatments just stop working?
