Can Yasmin be used to delay menses if I'm going on a trip, is it safe to do so?

Yes, no worries, Yasmin can be used safely to delay your menses from coming and ruining your holiday. As Yasmin has 21 tablets in the packet, what you need to do is to finish off the last tablet and then skip the 7 day pill-free period and start the next Yasmin packet the next day without taking a break (immediately). In this way, your period will not come during this current month and should return as usual during your next pill-free period. If it doesn't return, it is best to then see a gynaecologist to determine the cause.

Can I safely use acne topical products such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid if I am on antidepressants?

To answer your question, yes, you may. In fact, topical acne medications that you have listed (benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid) have no interactions with your anti-depressant therapy. With that said, it is also not associated with aggravating depression. On the other hand, if your acne is severe and oral isotretinoin is being considered, then these topical acne medications must be used with caution. This is due to the fact that isotretinoin may aggravate an underlying depressive illness or psychiatric disorders [1].
