Hi i was on yasmin last year. i only took it for 5 days and had to stop i couldnt take it anymore. i turned into a crazy person. i was so anciuos and nervous i couldnt eat sleep sit still. as a result i lost 10 lbs in those 5 days and my engagment was broken off for a few hours. and no im NOT exagerating. i was so scarred on bc that i never tried another kind. now im married and realy getting fed up with condoms. i went to my doctor 2 months ago so i dont need to go back. hes going to call me tomarrow to discuss which one i should take. i know i dont want to go on yasmin again and yaz looks like it almost the same thing. has anyone been on yasmin and had symptons silimar to mine and tried a different bc? Which one worked best for you? i know everyone is differntand what worked for some of you may not work for me. i would just like to hear what worked for other people. thanks

I too had a similar "fun time" with Yasmin (please note sarcasm). I went off it to avoid the consequences...

Just a couple months ago, I went on Lutera (generic form of Alesse). I've been doing great...really like what ISN'T happening on it. I'm much more enjoyable to be around now than when I was on Yasmin, I have a sex drive (Yasmin stole that away from me!), and I haven't lost my personality (once I was settled in Yasmin, I became somewhat of a drone).

This is what worked best for me, however. As you said...you already know that everyone is a unique snowflake and things may not work the same for everyone.

Good luck on your quest for the perfect BC for you! Very Happy
