   Yasmin For acne? (Acne board)

3rd September 2006
I'm on my third month of Yasmin. Before I started Yasmin my derm put me on Augmentin ( antiobiotics ) and that had cleared me up pretty good until I started with yasmin. I have had horrible breakouts all along my jawline and down my neck. Now, I had the same type of persistent breakout with OTC so I think I'm just not doing well with BC. I prefer not to be on any BC but because I have started Accutane I need to be.
During the past 2 months I've also been very tired. But I don't know if that's been because of the Augmentin or Yasmin. I stopped taking Augmentin a week ago and I'm wondering if my energy is not slowly coming back....I'm not sure yet.
Anyway, I've heard a lot of people have had success with yasmin so it's worth a try.
Good luck!

Thanks for the replies... I just got off augmentin in the beg of august I was on it for like 3 months and it help but very very minimally soo my derm switched me to doxy and I am starting my 2nd month of doxy and before Yasmin I was on desogen and it is making me break out b/c this past week I was on my sugar pills and my face is clearing up sooo much but during the 3 weeks I was taking the hormones my face was a MESS!! So my derm suggested Yasmin he said its the best for acne so I started taking it tonight...soo I guess I will have to wait and see how it goes But I dunno if I should have high hopes since I just figured out it was the BC adding to all my acne so I have a feeling any BC pill will just do the same thing as the desogen did and Mircette....Right now all I keep telling myself is less then a month until I will be on accutane and if it was up to me I would stop BC too but now I can't do that since my derm has chosen for me to go on accutane... so I am trying to wait out this last month and praying I might see a slight improvement??? instead of a huge mess of breakouts that I have been seeing.... so I can have some relief before the accutane plunge...
