"i&#039;ve recently come off yasmin due to reading about the increased risk of blood clots. however i was on it for a number of years and had an ok experience with it. 

the positives were i had no headaches (i had excruciating migraines with marvelon) and my skin was perfect - only the occasional spot before my period similar to what it was like on diannette. 

however the bad side effects for me were weight gain, i put on roughly half a stone which no matter what i couldn&#039;t shift and i was tired all the time. i also had zero sex drive.

i&#039;d recommend trying yasmin if you&#039;re concerned about acne and particularly if you&#039;re looking to come off diannette. however as i say it&#039;s not perfect and everyone reacts differently."
