Yasmin
Posted: 01-12-06 00:11am

Has anyone had any problems with hairloss on this drug? I've noticed my hair is getting thinner...Maybe it's just normal...Maybe it's yasmin?

Anyone have acne problems? My face was pretty clear before taking it, but now it seems like I always have a few breakouts.

I'm on my third month.

Thanks girls!! ;) :?

I did!
I was on yasmin for 5 months and was pulling out handfulls of hair every morning (especially when wet). I kept saying to my husband and friends that i'm losing too much hair, but everyone kept ignoring me. Finally, it got so bad that I could see the scap through my hair (at the crown)! I got off of yasmin immediately and started a gnc hair vitamin. I could see improvements in about 2 weeks - my hair stopped falling out.

hard5150rock, hair loss and acne are possible side effects of yasmin.
Probably you should ask your doctor to switch to another pill.
