I was on Yasmin for close to a year. I switched to Aviane (generic for Alesse) because I didn't like the side effects I was having on Yasmin. I gained weight and felt very moody most of the time. The positive side effect is that my skin looked great and no acne. And my boobs got bigger. I was a little nausious the first week, but that went away fast. Everyone has a different reaction to bc pills though so you may not get any side effects. They do say to give it at least 3 months if your having side effects to see if they disappear. If not, then maybe you should switch pills.
