 5  Endometreosis Clear skin, no break through bleeding as long as I take the placebos once every 3 months. This drug helped me a lot. After my surgery and Lupron treatment I was put on Seasonique for a year. That medication failed me miserably. I was switched to generic Yasmin (Ocella and then to Zarah) and it has worked wonderfully for me for 3 years. It has prevented another Endo surgery and Lupron treatment. F 29 3 years

 5  Acne, birth control Switched to yasmin because the pill the doctor gave me made me bleed continuously. Started yasmin and have had no trouble- no spotting when first started taking it. Cleared spots from my skin, rarely get any at all now. No known side effects, only the usual mild pain during the 7 day break. F 20 1 years

 5  hormonal imbalance and birth contro Insomnia, anxiety, nausea, dizziness and I feel like I never get full so I'm always hungry but yet I don't have an appetite to eat anything. I ate 2 bowls of cereal for breakfast but still starving heat me up some soup had 2 more bowls and did the job. Lol. Couldn't eat no more through out the whole day after that. I tried zenchent, Loestrin FE that gave me horrible mood swings and head aches!!! I know the symptoms will go away in 3 months plus I only been on this for 5 days yet im so happy despise the symptoms:) F 20 5 days

 5  Peri-menopausal symptoms None. No side effects - having a great experience so far. Was previously taking Yaz, but experiencing break-through bleeding. I am 46 years old, very healthy (weight train and cardio) and I don't smoke. My husband had a vasectomy several years ago, but I am taking this pill to control symptoms of peri-menopause (irregular bleeding and thinning hair). I was very concerned about the side effects - particularly blood clotting that I'm aware is associated with this form of birth control. My gyno convinced me that If I have not had a history of blood clotting and had no issues during my two pregnancies, I should not be concerned. So far, I've felt wonderful and sex drive is way up (26-year marriage). Maybe negative things will take place as I remain on it for an extended length of time - but for now it is working very well for me. By the way, I have been on many varieties of the earlier types of birth control back in the early 80's - they came with many side afffects - many of my friends could not even take them. F 46 1 months

 5  ACNE NONE THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN ALESSE I have been on this pill for 2 years, it eradicated my cystic acne problem completely in conjunction with another drug called aldactone, which I am no longer taking because the yasmin works on its own after several months of aldactone usage. No side effects whatsoever. I have been on alesse, tricyclen lo etc... and they were all completely useless, with the exceptions of being a useful contraceptive. F 24 2 years

 5  spots Spots cleared , bad cramps stopped, small weightloss was on yazmin for 7 years to begin with was for my bad skin which cleared from loads of spots to an odd spot when due period then contuned to take for birth control which did the job for me, i stopped taking yasmin as have decided to try pregnant, now my spots have returned bad cramps, heavey periods have returned and ive put on weight. But after 7 years i think my body really need a rest as i was getting awful headaches for months which have now gone. i also feel alot happier and only after reading comments here realise it could have been yasmin that caused me to feel down alot as well but this i think for me was due to the lengthof time it took it for.

 5  cysts, prevent pregnancy weight gain at first, weight loss eventually, predictable periods last 4-5 days, spotting. VERY GOOD experience with Yasmin, almost no side effects at all. I would miss pills and double up but there would be no scare at all because my period would always consistently arrive on the dot. Eventually dried up my vagina a bit, but I was a little too wet to start with. The only reason why I'm switching to Othro Tricyclen LO today is because yasmin is said to induce gall bladders F 20 2 years

 5  Yes Before using Yasmin, I would get severe menstrual pain, hot flashes, mood swings and the works. It would be so bad I would end up in the hospital. After taking Yasmin, all that stopped. I'm emotional stable and when my period comes around, I can still function (I even get excited when it starts without any pain at all). I did experience a higher occurence of yeast infection (which I don't consider major), my appetite opened up during the first couple days I started taking it, but those things are tolerable compared to what I've been through. Now that I'm hearing about all these side effects I'm scared. I'm scared that if I get off the pill I'll go back to terrible monthly menstrual cramps and mood swings and having to miss work, especially since they took Baralgin off the market as well and that was the only painkiller that worked for me (sigh). I'm also scared that I'll end up making myself terribly ill if I continue taking the pill. I have to pray about this one cause I'm really concerned and I don't know what to do. F 27 2 years
