I have been on both Yasmin and the generic version for years and LOVE it! I had been on several different types of Ortho and had horrible acne and migraines so finding Yasmin was like a gift from heaven - no migraines, my skin was back to normal and my period was so light I bought tampons about once every three months. I have had a lot going on in the last year and kept forgetting to take my pill each day so I decided to try the NuvaRing and the results have not been positive for me. I am calling my doctor today and asking her to switch me back. For those of you who have switched from one pill to another, just remember that it can take three months for skin issues to clear up. When I switched to Yasmin from one of the Ortho pills, I initially had worse acne on the second month after changing but by the end of the third month everything had sorted itself out hormone-wise and my skin cleared up. Thank goodness my doctor and dermatologist forewarned me or I might not have stuck with it.

I completely agree!! I had stopped taking Yasmin because I would forget to take the pill! Then I switched to NuvaRing and it caused major depression and I'm back on Yasmin. I wont ever change to anything else!!
