Question About Switching Off Depo-privera Shot
Posted: 10-19-04 13:26pm

I was on depo for 3 months. I experienced bad acne and I have since switched to yasmin, as my dermatologist recommended this for acne (hormone) control. Although I have yet to see any improvement as it's only been 2 and 1/2 weeks, it's actually gotten worse.

My understanding is that my skin will not see improvements for about the first 2 months of taking yasmin. Has anyone switching from depo to yasmin that can share their experience? Or anyone that has stopped taking depo that can tell me how soon the acne side effect will subside?
