i took dianette for acne for 18 months then asked my gp if there was an alternative..i was unhappy at my weight gain...i took Yasmin for 3months and in the 3rd month i had a constant headache..it peaked and became quite severe with a sickness but only if i laid on the left side of my head..i went back to my gp and she has now told me i can never take the pill again due to the risk of DVT...THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE..i have taken dianette for ages without any side effects but Yasmin made me feel sick all the time and i was very depressed...anyone been the same...my acne is starting back and i am gutted,,,,cant go out of the house
