User Reviews for Yasmin

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: I am 24 years old. Before I started Yasmin, I felt like I was trapped in a 47 year olds body; always tired, moody, angry and never seemed to lose weight. I've also tried every acne product know. None of them work (not for me anyway) until one day I saw a commercial on television, about "Yasmin". After talking it over with my doctor he told me to try it and see. WOW! Let me tell you what happen to me. I kid you not, after the 1st week my face was clear, I mean beautiful. I didn't have to ware any make-up and I lost 10lbs within the first month. And for some strange reason, people don't call me bipolar anymore. I tell you Yasmin works from inside out. It is GREAT.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I've taken depo for about 5 years I have a very serious large amount of cyst in both my ovaries, a few Dr. have told me I have PCOS and I use to be in alot of pain from the cyst. My Dr. sugested surgery to remove my ovaries, so I went to a different Dr. My new Dr. prescribed be Yasmin as a birth control instead of the Depo I've been taking, it was so it would stop me from ovulating at all and sure enoughf within a month the pain was gone. Yasmin helped me get rid of my ovarian cyst problem.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: I am 15 and I had a terrible acne problem, I mean it was bad! I tried Proactive to Oxy and so much more. My mom was spending a lot of money on things that did not work. I went to the dr. He prescribed face pads that didn't work then he prescribed a gel to apply to my face twice a day. The gel worked a little then we went back for the last time and he put me on Yasmin. I noticed a difference about a month after I started taking it. It has also helped with cramps and pms. Thanks Yasmin.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Out of all the birth control pills, this one is best! Gained some weight in the "right" spots :) Less PMS, if any @ all, lighter periods/flow. And this pill is safe enough to take for 3 consecutive months, so you can have your period only 4 times a year!!! That's so AWESOME!

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: I also have a long family line of bad skin. My doctor put my on Retin-A and Yasmin and my skin has never looked better!! I now get compliments on my skin. Yasmin rules!!

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: I have taken Yasmin for 4 months. 1st month had increased acne, headaches, nausea, tender breasts and slight irritability. Half way through 2nd month skin started to improve and side effects stopped. My period came on 2nd day of taking white placebo pill. Usually the week before my period I have painful cramps and have to take pain killers, this time there was no bloating or cramps and pain. On the 3rd month and my skin is starting to heal and look a lot clearer, periods are normal and pain free. Only mild discomfit half an hour before my period starts. Yasmin will make your skin breakout when you first start taking it, but it will start to improve. After I wash my makeup off I can't believe how clear my skin is.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I have been on Yasmin for 5 years, since I was 16. I stopped it for a few months (I switched jobs and lost my insurance). In that time I went to a clinic and was given their low-cost birth control pills. Once I got back on yasmin, I stopped having breakthrough bleeding, headaches, nausea, and everything in between. So of the two or three birth control brands I have tried, Yasmin is by far the best.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I've taken Yasmin for probably the last 3 years, but I've been using other birth control pills for 12 years and the pill I was using made me gain about 7-8 lbs of water weight. That's when my doctor put me on Yasmin, in a few days I lost the water weight, I don't get cramps, no mood swings, my periods last for 3-4 very light days and I only have them every 3 months, so if your doctor says you can take Yasmin I highly recommend it.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Yasmin was great for the couple years I was on it, but about a month after I quit taking it my hair started to shed more than usual. After three months I had about a 40% decrease in hair volume and became noticeably thin on top. This is very devastating because I am an attractive, healthy 27 yer old. This is the side effect they don't warn you of.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol): I started taking this about 2 months ago. It caused me to have severe migraines. My doctor took me off of it today!

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: I started taking this - before I was very moody - caused a lot of fights with my boyfriend from mood swings. I suffer from depression, PKD, POD, etc. I took the medication and within the first month I noticed I wasn't as moody. I'm also very overweight - lost 30 pounds first 2 months (granted I ate healthy and exercised but what a boost - POD is a heavy cause for weight gain). My hair also didn't grow as fast so I didn't have to shave as often and I was a lot happier person in the end. I've been told to switch to another one and I'm very very hesitant too - only due to this not being recommended for kidney disease.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: So far I really like Yasmin, I had a mild problem with acne and serious mood swings. I was also having a significant amount of dark coarse facial hair due low amounts of estrogen. I've seen improvements in all 3 areas. I started taking Yasmin on the second day of my period and by the third day, my period was gone. The only downer is that it makes me really tired. I'm always a little cranky because I'm sleepy. It seems as though Yasmin is good for a lot of other problems young women have and it's just a plus that it prevents pregnancy.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I have been on Yasmin since I was 15. My periods used to last 9-11 days, were heavy, and very painful. I can remember my mom keeping me out of school due to this. Not only was my cycle completely crazy, I had acne on my shoulders, upper back, and upper arms. Being in high school, something like this can be traumatizing. Anyway after almost 6 years, I have been acne free (maybe the occasional bump or 2) and 4-5 day easy periods! I did gain weight...but who knows if it was because of the birth control...like the lady said before she gained in all the "right" places so I can't complain about that one. I went up a whole up size! I plan on taking this until I decide to make a little one (another 4 years hopefully).

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Was using Ocella for a year and gained 10 pounds. Switched to Yasmin, big difference losing weight and my hunger attacks stopped. Recommend it.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Amazing pill. I took Yasmin for 5 years with no side effects except low libido which is why I eventually switched pills. Overall light short cramp free periods. Worked great for me, no PMS at all. And best part is I never got pregnant, very good. When I wanted to get pregnant I was only off Yasmin for 1 month before conceiving my son. All in all it was a great pill.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I was having a horrible time on Ocella which contrary to what your local pharmacist will tell you, is NOT the same as Yasmin. So my doctor switched me to Yasmin and the first month was great, no more horrible mood swings, I was almost on euphoric high. The second month I completely crashed, I started having hot flashes, mood swings, ovarian pain, hair loss, anxiety and a general feeling of non-well-being. ASIDE from that, my period was fine, not too bad.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: Good.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Made me so irritable! I've never experienced PMS, but when I was on this medication, I was so emotional - even when not menstruating.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Menstrual Disorders: I was prescribed it because I was suffering from very bad cramps. This did not do anything to relieve the pain. It turned me into an absolute wreck where I was crying all of the time, from the very first day. It affected my sleep. As well as this my breasts were unbearably painful and they ballooned in size. This pill also made me break out on my face. In short, taking this pill was an absolute nightmare.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol): I have been on Yasmin for about 3 years now. I recently switched to Loestrin 24 because of all the scare with Yasmin and yaz, but now I'm loyally back to taking Yasmin. I was so worried, although I don't know why as I'm not a smoker and I'm under the age of 35. So I consulted my doctor and asked her. She said there were minute risk JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MEDICATION ESPECIALLY BIRTH CONTROL. I would recommend this birth control to anyone! My face has never looked better. I struggled with acne for years and this truly is the only thing that has helped. My periods were extremely regular, with minimum cramping and NO bloating. I did become more moody. I did experience bouts of emotional rage because of hormones, this should be expected.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Acne: I am 25yrs and I have been taking Yasmin for about 5yrs now. I found it very good no menstrual pain, 5 days period, it also helped in some what way with my acne. I gained a few pounds as some people say in the right places, but lately I find its making me cranky and nauseous, because of that I am thinking of trying a new pill.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Menstrual Disorders: I've just turned 48, and for the past year or so I've had mid-cycle breakthrough bleeding. Six months ago this changed to a daily, dark brown, old blood discharge. My ob/gyn thought that low estrogen was the cause so I tried birth control pills for the first time in over 20 years. The first two brand made things worse, and then I tried Yasmin. The daily bleeding stopped within 24 hours and stayed away. Side effects for me are a bit of breast tenderness and some weight loss. I don't care what other side effects show up, to be honest. I'm so glad I tried Yasmin.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: This was the first (and only) birth control I have ever used, so I will say upfront that the effects it had on me may have resulted in any birth control use not just from Yasmin. I used Yasmin for about 2 months and in that amount of time it had almost completely killed my sex drive. I could not reach "climax" whereas I had not had a problem before and had almost no desire for sex. In addition I became so dry that when I did have sex it would burn and be painful. I did gain some weight but I'm not sure if I could really blame it on the birth control except for the fact my breasts went up a cup size and still haven't shrunk though I've lost weight. The weight may have been put on easier on Yasmin? Hair got thicker also but no baby!

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I've just started Yasmin. I was on Diane-35 last year, then stopped, but the water weight didn't seem to go away and I had cellulite, that I had never had before Diane-35. In 9 days, I've lost about 2kg. My mood seems fine so far. Have to visit bathroom more often. The best thing - I'm about a cup size up, from B to about C now. It's fantastic and I cannot wait for my boyfriend to see them! Diane-35 made me feel awkward and out-of-place, because of the sudden water weight on legs, bottom, arms, tummy, etc, but I feel so light on Yasmin. Yasmin gave me back my flat tummy (I had some bloating problems). First month in and it's been fantastic. Cannot stop looking in the mirror.

Yasmin (drospirenone/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Yasmin kept my skin clear and my period 'normal' for years. As soon as I stopped it, life became disastrous again. My face was oily and broke out. I had coarse facial chin hair growing constantly. Periods were heavy with cramps I had to take 800mg Ibuprofen for. I started taking them again after 6 months off.... Upon resuming, in the 1st month I had NO significant change in acne or facial hair. The second month, slight breast tenderness and, my face was less oily. Breakouts are LESS but not gone yet. There is less facial hair. Into month 3, breast tenderness is gone and improvements in skin and hair continue. This pill is great for women with PCOS like myself. I should have never stopped using it on the first place.
