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!
