Level of hormones in Yasmin?!


Question: Level of hormones in Yasmin!?
I had been on Ortho Try Cyclen Lo for 3 months, and the side effects I was feeling were getting better at the time of my 'pill-check', so the dr (well, shes the midwife/assistant in my dr's office) told me to keep going with it if i was comfortable, and to call her if i wanted to switch, and she'd put me on something with less hormones!. Well, in the 4th month, the side effects got WAY worse (depression/emotional, nausea, fatigue) and I decided I wanted to switch!. I had an appt for the 1st gardasil shot with the doctor, so I asked him about switching to something else, and he put me on Yasmin, to try for another 3 months!. Its been 3 days and I can already feel the 'sadness' setting in again! (on OTC-Lo it was always the first week that I felt like that) I'm confused as to why he would switch me to this !.!.!. I thought Yasmin had MORE hormones!? Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It's not necessarily the amount of hormones; it's the amount as well as the type!. Different pills have different kinds of hormones, and one may be better for you than another!.

Your doctor may have put you on Yasmin because it has a different type than Ortho Tri-Cyclen!. I would give it more than 3 days before you decide this is no good!. For me, it takes at least 1 pack of pills before my body is used to a new sort!.

Edit: The generic will work fine!. The same medicine is in them both!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
