I am on Yaz. My periods are much lighter than when I was on traditional 7-day placebo (Apri). The main difference is that you take active pills for 24 days, and inactive for 4 days. I think the theory is that you are going to experience less of a drop in hormones since you are only off the active pills for 4 days instead of 7. I can say that my anxiety has dropped since switching to Yaz. I definitely notice less body hair growth on Yaz, too!

However, it costs me $51 a pop for Yaz. I just saw at the pharmacy that there is a generic version of Yasmin now available, so that's something to consider.
