Romance And Yasmin - Yasmin Levy

Advantages: weight loss, clearer skin, lighter periods!
Disadvantages: dramatic decrease in sex drive, extreme tiredness! double periods!

...my experience with Yasmin has been a good one, this is the second pill i have been prescribed as the first one i went on which i think was Dianette was absolutely awful, my skin was so spotty and greasy, i put on about a stone in weight, my moods were awful and i just cried at anything, and was feeling rather depressed. So i went back to the brook and they said that Yasmin would help with my skin and my moods, after the first 3 months i was feeling much much happier and more my usual self, and my skin was back to normal and clear! also my usually very heavy periods were much lighter and the awful period cramps eased up to the point of hardly feeling them!

Advantages: Didn't Fall Pregnant, sorted out my periods
Disadvantages: sickness and sore heads

Advantages: Lighter/regular periods, no pregnancy, no side effects.
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to remember to take it, other than that no problems.

On hearing this, she prescribed me with the pill Yasmin and explained that I may experience some problems, but it was to be expected. If they got worse, then I would end up having to go back to change to another pill. I never had to do that, even when I started it up for the first time I experienced no side effects. The only problems I had with headaches were caused by other factors. This is the first and only pill that I have personally tried, and I was (still am) surprised by the effectiveness. I soon discovered that the little acne that still existed on my body soon went away better than when I tried using other acne treatments, and that my skin in general... Read review
