Yasmin v s Dianette !!?
Question:
I have been put on Yasmin but have read so much about it giving people acne and I have also read you dont put weight on but it seems a lot of people have?
Answers:
I'm afraid I'm going to be really cheeky and answer your question with a question! I don't know the answer to yours, I'm sorry.
You said that Dianette gave you awful moods and depression. Do you mind me asking how long you'd been taking it before that started to happen? I tried it when I was in my teens but didn't get on with it for reasons I can't really remember, but me and the Doc have decided I should have another go. I've only been taking it for a week.
Dianette is much less used now as it has also got double the 'normal' pill risk of causing clots. Yasmin is not technically marketed as an acne treatment, but was noted to improve acne during its contraceptive trials. It is therefore not very likely to cause acne. I am afraid any contraceptive pill can cause weight gain in some women.
