"i never write reviews but had to share my terrible experience so that others don&#039;t make the same mistake that i&#039;ve made. i had been on yasmin for years, my doctor suggested i switch to a generic since it&#039;s free (as opposed to $50) so i gave it a shot for a month. i have one more day on zarah and here are the side effects i&#039;ve experienced in that time: nausea, severe moodiness, dizziness, yeast infection, swollen tongue (?!), cystic acne, loss of appetite yet weight gain. i&#039;m a healthy, active 31-year old woman without any other medical issues. avoid this pill!!"
