How to Go Off Yasmin And Switch to Another Pill? Posted: 08-25-05 11:26am
I want to go off yasmin mainly due to the
pigmentation its caused on my face, i've
been on it about 3+ years. However I have
heard some stories about withdrawl side
effects that are not good, water
retention, etc. My question is, should I
go off it and detox then try a new pill?
Or, make a direct switch to another pill?
I am getting married in 9 months and I
want to be "normal" when that happens!
Thanks.

I made a direct switch to a new pill.
After my placebo pills with yasmin I just
started in with the new pills. Never had
a problem.

Once your pack of yasmin is done, start
the new pills on the day you would
normally start a new pack of yasmin. You
shouldn't have any problems.
I didn't like yasmin either, so I switched
to ortho tri-cyclen lo. This is my 2nd
month on it and so far I really like it.

Thanks, my main concern is not gaining
weight on a new pill, I didn't on yasmin.
I didnt lose either, though.
