I'm just posting some info. about my experiences with Yasmin and spironolactone for those who are considering these medications.

I have been taking Yasmin since it came on the market in 2001 or so. I have been on spironolactone (150 mg) since 2003. I found that this combination of medications worked wonders for my skin, hair (decreasing unwanted hair loss from my head and unwanted hair growth on my body and face), and regulated my periods beautifully.

I have only had two major complaints 1) spironolactone has ALWAYS made me feel queasy 2) decreased libido. As I have been on these meds prior to meeting my DH, he never believed me about the decreased libido. We are now TTC. I went off the spironolactone 1 1/2 mos. ago, and stopped the Yasmin about 2 weeks ago. What a change! I know that I'm more puffy from water retention now and I'm worried that I will see negative changes with my hair and skin, but the sex drive is back. I finally feel more like myself! Please keep in mind that this is a potential side effect of taking these medications.
