Yasmin vs. YAZ

[volcomrxy21]

I have read many horrendous side effects of Yasmin; I've been on Yaz for about a week now and have not experienced any side effects (aside from having to urinate often!!)
Is it possible that the lower dose of Yaz could actually lower the chance of the common side effects occuring while taking Yasmin such as depression and sleepiness?

Yes.

The purpose of a lower-dosed pill is to decrease the side effects.

that's the answer I was hoping for.
Thank you

I can not say enough good things about this pill, i am on my second packet and i feel great. I didnt realize how much yasmin affected me untill i switched, i thought i was just stressed out

katy,
I do notice myself a little emotional since starting it... but I"m sure it's just hormonal and will balance itself out after some time>

did you notice any side effects during your first few weeks on yaz?

thanks
