Pros:

Cleared up my skin quite well for the months I was on it

Cons:

Terrible mood swings and bouts of depression
Weight gain (only about 3 pounds, but still)
Increase in appetite

I found this to be good at helping clear up my acne... however I still had occasional bad breakouts and usually had at least one spot on my face most of the time. I have come off it now and am looking for other things for acne as I became extremely depressed most of the time whilst on this pill

Pros:

No babies, regular periods

Cons:

Horrible headaches, Depression, Mood swings, and leg cramps

When I started Yasmin I had the common side effects of nausea and not really any bad pms no weight gain or anything. after about 6 months I got really depressed my relationships were horrible because I didn't want to be around anyone. I had horrible mood swings and would go off on my boyfriend for no reason and anyone else that was in my path! I would also get anxiety attacks I dont recommend this pill I have switched to mircette! so hopefully that one works a lot better!

Pros:

lighter period and always on time, milder menstrual cramps

Cons:

less sex drive, decreased ability to clear infection?

Great for menstrual cycle associated problems. Don't know for sure if this is due to yasmin, but for the first time in my life I had a viral infection I could not clear for 2 weeks.

Pros:

less acne, bigger boobs (good for me), not pregnant!

Cons:

weight gain (ALOT), no appetite, moody, depressed, dry skin, no sex drive, LOOOONG periods

I went on yasmin to clear up my acne...and that is exactly what it did. After 3 months, I was just left with scars. I'm on my sixth month now, and I've had my period for 2 months straight, HEAVY. Now if you can handle the depression, mood swings, constant bleeding, low sex drive, and weight gain...then go for it. And everyone is different, so it may work for you. I'm going to go on Accutane now, yasmin didn't work for me. (IF YOU ARE ALREADY A DEPRESSED PERSON, DO NOT TAKE!!! SERIOUSLY!)

Pros:

Really reduced my cramps and the days of my period to no more than 3 days.

Cons:

Horrible ACNE @ the age of 34!

I'm changing due to acne problems. When I asked my Dr. about it, he claimed tha Yasmin was rated for clearing up ACNE by the FDA. I could NOT believe it. I have had nothing but major breakouts! Beware!

HELP! I got acne... I don't get it, just out of nowhere! first I just had a few spots, but now it seems to get worser! I wanna cry!
and I've got blood for a few days now.

I'm on the end of the first month of yasmin and I don't know what to think about it. I don't like what I'm reading here. really don't know what to do.

Pros:

no babies, no wieght gain

Cons:

horrible mood swings, bad skin, depression, nausea, headaches, swollen breasts, skipped periods

This pill turned me into a monster, an absolute monster. I would have horrible mood swings which would leave me either crying hysterically or screaming at my boyfriend. Hopefully I can begin to go back to normal now that I have stopped taking this pill. It does its job though as I am baby free.
