Does no one have a great number of side effects form Alesse? My doctor switched me to Yasmin (which I haven't yet started because I had a few packs of Alesse remaining) because I complained about moodiness/crankiness that is so sudden and abrupt that I just know it has to be hormonal).
After researching Yasmin, I see that many people have sooo many complaints about it, yet they are the same complaints that I have with Alesse (which I hadn't realized it was causing until I made the connection with the other BCP). i.e, leg/arm numbness, extremely dry flaky skin, severe mood swings, tiredness, gas, heartburn, sleeplessness, the list goes on and on and if you look under the Yasmin board it will list just about everything I have trouble with on Alesse.
Is everyone REALLY all that happy with Alesse?
I am going to try Yasmin. I am basically only on BCP to regulate my periods (which can be very heavy and very unpredictable) so I will go off of it if I continue to have such horrific symptoms.

I have taken this pill now for 4 days. I'm not certain if these side effects come from the pill itself bc i also started taking Wellbutrin at the same time. However insomnia, flushes of heat, mood sways irritability, anger. panic attacks and at time difficulty breathing....i don't think this is a pill for me.
