So I've been on Orsythia for about a year and have been having issues with my breakouts. Then my derm decided that it would be a good idea to change my bc to Sprintec, as it's supposed to be good for acne. For the 2 months I was on it I experienced the worst and most painful breakouts, even developing an awful rash around my mouth. I switched back to Orsythia 2 months ago and started doxycyclin and that's kept my acne mostly under control, but it's really unreliable. My acne's starting to get bad again and I'm thinking of trying a different bc. Does anyone have any advice or personal experience with this kinda stuff? I've been thinking yasmin but I'm worried about the side affects...

I was on diane35 some years ago and proved the only to keep me acne free. I never had side effects, but after 3 years of constancy it gave me a weird one, a sign that i was overloaded and had to stop it. Diane35 is considered as the heaviest bcp and if i am not wrong it is forbidden in europe, where it was under the name gynofen35. Discuss it with your doctor...
