I took Alesse for 1.5 years and I liked it for the most part. It helped clear my skin and my periods were really light. I had no mood swings, irritability, or PMS symptoms. But I also had NO sex drive and my hair started thinning.

I was on Alesse for years. I never remember any side effects in the beginning. But then I started having light , but continuous breakthrough bleeding. My nurse put me on Yasmine. At first I didn't realize I was haing side effects until they got worst: breast tenderness, weight gain, breast enlargement, extreme weakness, irritability, contact irritation. The side effects went away for the most part, but my boobs and hips are still much bigger. I am thinking about tryin Aleese again

depression, nightsweats, irritability, vaginal dryness, heavy breakthrough bleeding-it had it all. I was absolutely miserable on this. I've heard lots of good things about this one, but I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE!

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.
