I've been taking Diane-35 for years which makes my skin and hirsutism go away, looks beautiful. However it also causes extreme food cravings. I HATE HATE this. I can deal with the cravings if needed because the excess hair and acne are too disturbing to have. Has anyone tried Yasmin or any other anti-androgen type BCP which doesn't cause food cravings?
The first few weeks on Yaz, it actually supressed my appetite. Studies show that BCPs make you more insulin resistant, so that is probably why many people get food cravings on them.
I take Yasmin and I don't have any food cravings (other than normal ones around my period). If I remember right, I think it suppressed my appetite when I first started taking it, but now my appetite is normal.

I'm on Diane and have never had food cravings, well no more than usual, I just put it down to poor diet. If I ignore them (especially the chocolate ones!) or have fruit, they usually pass until I start eating badly again.
