I have been on every antibiotic under the sun. What generally happens to me is that they work really well at first, then gradually start to quit working. I would eventually switch to a different a/b because it had quit working. My acne always came back.

As for Yasmin, I think it is wonderful. I have been on Ortho-Tricyclen and Ortho-Cyclen. Broke out on both and felt moody, bloated, etc. Yasmin has helped clear my skin and I have had no moodiness or other bad effects. In fact, I have lost about 6 pounds since I started taking it, which is always good!

Hope this helps.
