I've been on Diane35 for about 6 months now, and I'm thinking about switching to Yasmin. I have a problem with water retention throughout the month, and not just during pms time. I've heard that Yasmin has a diuretic effect, so I think that would really help me. I also want to switch because my depression has come back since starting Diane, and also, I'm not really comfortable with taking a drug that's not FDA approved and has a higher risk for strokes. I also just read in one of the research articles that Diane is supposed to one of the worst bcp's for worsening IR
Has anyone else made the switch from Diane to Yasmin? Are these two drugs very different? My gyno said any bcp would be fine cuz they're all essentially the same thing. I'm really afraid to switch though, because as soon as I started taking Diane, I lost weight. I just fear weight gain! Can anyone help? (I've read all the other posts, and gone to websites with info on bcps, but I'm really interested in personal experiences.)
