"i was on this birth control for five months and it served its purpose -- preventing pregnancy. i did notice a few downsides, though. i had more cravings and ate a lot more, gaining around 8 lbs within the five months. i&#039;ve always been an anxious person, this pill made it so much worse. i also noticed i was super emotional and had horrible mood swings. overall, it was an okay pill, but i&#039;m going to look for a birth control with less side effects."
