For Acne "I have been on Yasmin for 20 years and not had any issues. It cleared my acne, made my periods pain-free, and I lost some weight. I had endometriosis and was told I needed to go on the pill, and TBH, I tried other pills and they made me moody and put weight on. This one is my holy grail. I stopped it recently as advised by a menopause doctor since I'm 47 now, but have gone back on it as bioidentical HRT, which did not agree with me and I put weight on and got depressed. I am back on it 2 days and feel great. I think everyone is different. As long as you are healthy and work out and do not smoke, it is a great pill for acne and weight gain. I am sorry to hear other people's experiences, but we have to take all things into consideration."

For Birth Control "Wish I never went on this. I started gaining weight rapidly. I gained 150 pounds in less than two years. In that time, I did NOT change the way I ate or how often I exercised. So, it was not due to lifestyle changes. Constantly short of breath. Made my hair fall out. Made my eczema worse. I had been off it for 8 years but was getting heavy periods where I would have blood clots the size of baseballs for at least 32 hours. I went to a doctor who told me that because of this medication, I had polyps on my uterus. I had to get them taken out. Just an all-around bad medication, and I don't know how the drug manufacturer does this to people."
