I used to take yaz birth control but my doc told me to grt off it for health reasons it did help with my acne, he put me on alesse it says suppose to help with acne it has a bit but not as much as yaz, has anyone been on a birth control that helps with acne? I'm thinking of going back to my doc to switch to another one that helps more.

I wouldn't even recommend one. I know that's not the answer you want. But with any medication it's what works best for your body. It's best to try a couple. I know the bc I am on is called Vestura. And what I hate about it is that it makes me gain weight. But it, helped my skin. However, again it's to each their own.

I was on Yaz and it made me into such a mean person lol. I was also on Aleese and I was so depressed on it. Yaz is an extremely strong birth control while Alesse is a very weak one. Maybe try something in the middle, I was on Marvelon and it was really good. Also look into 3 month continuous birth control pills such as Seasonique. The one month cycles ones didn't do much for me but the 3 month continuous was a good match.

I'm on carrel and it's made my spots a lot worse and made me gain weight I hate it but I'm not allowed to change it and it has such bad bad reviews by like 90% negative so I wouldn't recommend it! But you never know it could work for you

Tricira-lo is an increase dose pill, first week is low, second increased a bit, third is strong. If you have strong periods as a norm I don't recommend blocking periods for any long period of time. As we all know what periods do, if you skip the lining will just get thicker causing a heavier period later on with more cramping. If you have light easy periods then it shouldn't be any issue.
