acne
"I have been on a Yaz/Yasmin generic for about 1 1/2 years now. I originally started taking it to deal with constant and stubborn acne, which it slightly improved. Once I started taking Spironolactone to supplement the birth control, acne ceased completely. However, the weight gain, bloating and insatiable appetite I have experienced on this birth control pill is intolerable enough that I have decided to stop taking it. Since I was already on an antidepressant, I didn't experience the common mood swings associated with this pill. I would caution future users to keep close track of their weight and drink tons of water to curb the bloated look, but that can only do so much. For acne, I recommend just trying Spiro."
