"when i originally took microgestin 1/20 by watson, it was amazing (particularly after the first couple of months of taking when my body got use to it). my breasts went up a cup size &amp; there were little to no side effects. lighter periods. no pregnancy. win!

then after almost two years, a dark cloud called actavis became the new manufacturer and shattered my love for microgestin. something changed in the formula because i was suddenly sick during the first week of each new pack to the point that i&#039;d throw up at times. random cramping. gained about a pd a week - not a deal breaker but still sucks. heavy exhausting 2-3 day periods. two side effects worsened over time: melasma and mood swings. needless to say, it&#039;s goodbye time. beware!"
