Hello Fellow PCOSers

I have been on Yasmin for ~3mo now. It does a good job with the hair, etc. But, I am having some weird side effects. I get a rash on my arms occasionally and my face gets red at night. The scariest s/e is that lately arms have felt "light." Almost as if they are half-alseep. They are still fully functional, but during workouts my legs and arms feel much weaker. This is kind of scaring me.

I am considering switching to Ortho-Cyclen or Ortho-Tri-Cyclen-Lo. The only pill I have taken that has not made me nuts was Alesse, but it made my hair not as controlled.

Does anyone have experience with these pills?

Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it!

Yasmin is supposed to be the best for controlling hair because there is no other pill like it. Yasmin is actually equal to 25mg of Spirnolactone too. The rash is normal... it's a side effect. I've gotten it a lot on my back. I dunno about the arm thing though... if it's really worrying you check with your doc.
