I just started the pill, Ocella, generic for Yasmin, anyone else on this?

Question

Just wondered if there were any side effects or anything. I was on Yasmin before, and I just wondered if Ocella was any different at all? Anyone on this and know how it is? Let me know, thanks!

Answer 2

I just started Ocella and I've had No side effects.  In fact my acne has cleared up more so than on Yaz!  Yaz made me break out like crazy.  All women are different and our side effects are different but I have broken out less and my periods have lightened up too.  It's reacting the same way Yasmin reacted for me.
