Realised Yazmin is the cause of my hair loss

Thanks to sites like this I Have realised why my hair is falling out at alarming rates. I was on the Dianette pill for years and was happy with it as it kept my acne under control, people used to always comment on my thick long hair.

The doctors said as the Dianette was a newish pill they wanted to take me off it and put me on the sister pill Yasmin which they said, is not as strong as the Dianette in terms of acne treatment. So about a year ago I went on Yasmin. For months and months my hair has been falling out, when I look back it probably started happening after taking the Yasmin which I am going to stop taking today!

My hair is so thin, I lose massive clumps of it when I wash it, I don't hardly wash it and now and instead use dry shampoo as I am so afraid of the hair loss, when I see all that hair in my hands it's so scary, every time I brush it or touch it I lose loads, I have just run my fingers through and lost about 10 hairs!! I have bald patches at the sides of my head. If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have realised the cause.

Thank You, I just hope my hair grows back!!
