    It has a such a pretty name I don't wanna talk bad about it. And I also spent 30 dollars on it too.
    But I highly recommend you to NOT get this BC.
    I got horrible acne all over my cheeks and chin. And a huge cystic on on my forehead. Ance has never been this big a problem for me.

    I got really bad anxiety as well... I'm really sensitive to stuff too, so I got sick after my first week on it.
    I want to pay my dad back for it. I'm stopping tomorrow.

    There are lots of commercials out saying that it has terrible side affects, I'm sorry you've had such a problem on it.

    You should try Microgestin, I've never had any problems on it. It even helped me lose weight. I've been on it for almost 3 years now and its never given me a problem.

    Is Yasmin related to Yaz? I was on Yaz for three weeks, and I ended up back at my dr, begging for something, anything, else. Nausea, migraines, fatigue, emotional rollercoaster...you name it, it happened. It was awful. I've now been taking Linesse for 4 days, and while I say "so far, so good," I said the same thing with Yaz for the first two weeks. Ugh. Birth control...so necessary, so annoying...

    I've been on Yasmin for 6 months now, i have had no problems with it at all, maybe a little bit more emotional in the first couple months but i think that would happen with any birth control. and yes Yaz is related to Yasmin, it is like the "baby sister" of Yasmin if you will. it's supposed to be the new and improved version but idk. I guess birth control just depends on the body.

    If yaz is the same thing, it completely cleared up all of my acne (at age 15), I no longer get migraines around the same time as my period, and I get almost no cramps during my period ever. Its wonderful.

    Yaz is similar to yasmin but is dosed slightly differently. You have less "inactive" pills, 4 per month instead of 7. This seems to reduce a lot of the negative side effects (especially near your period.) Yaz contains less estradiol (10mg less per pill.) Other than these two things they're identical.
