I was on Yaz for 3 months, it cleared up my acne on my chin but decreased my sex drive. Then I switched to the generic, Ocella (only reason being was the price with my insurance). My acne is still better but now I have bloating and no sex drive. Does anyone know why that is when the 2 are supposed to be the same? Should I switch back to Yaz? Thanks for anyones advice.

I think Ocella is the generic for Yasmin, not Yaz. Which means it has more estrogen.
