"i was put on yasmin for 6 months to regulate my cycle and reduce acne flare-ups and it was the worst 6 months of my life. i gained 20lbs that did not come off easily after stopping the pill, experienced horrible mood swings, had heavier periods, acne breakouts, breakthrough bleeding, and i was nauseous all the time. this pill seems to agree with most people but it definitely did not agree with me. i went on femcon a year after stopping yasmin and experienced virtually no side effects."
