"i have been on otcl for 4 months. the first couple of months i had several bad mood swings, but those have improved. i still experience irratibility and nausea daily and have gained 5 lbs. i feel bloated often and less energetic. my sex drive hasn&#039;t decreased much, my periods are light and predictable, and i haven&#039;t become pregnant. i get moderate breakouts and this medication hasn&#039;t had any effect on those either way. i&#039;ve tried worse, but i definitely don&#039;t feel as good as when i&#039;m not on birth control."
