 It's been a while..
Hi, I got this update, and I actually posted on this thread about 2 years ago saying Yasmin wasn't helping my skin. And I stayed on it for 6 months and not only did my acne get worse and wprse, I was experiencing depression and very bad pelvic pain. Went back on Marvelon (Desogen) and that helped tremendously. A year after, I was getting severe migraines and now cannot take combined pills, so I'm on Cerazette, which so far seems ok.
A doctor I saw told me that he no longer prescribes Yasmin due to the awful side effects that all his patients (including his wife!) have experienced. He said the drug companies push docotrs into prescribing them but actually it may not be the best thing for us. My gynae prescribed me Cerazette and I also have an IUD (long story..), I'm on my 2nd month of Cerazette. It has been a bumpy ride but I am feeling better with it, so I will give it a fair chance.
So, after my 6 months on Yasmin, I found it did NOTHING it was supposed to. I had terrible, painful acne and sores, headaches, weight gain, depression, and general malaise. So even if I could try it again, I never would. I was looking at Mercilon next after Marvelon, but my migrianes put a stop to that.
Good luck xx |
