"i&#039;ve been on generess fe now for over two years, and i am switching to a different birth control. the main reason i&#039;m switching is because my sex drive is virtually non-existent, and my dr. said that is because the generess levels you out (because it is super low in estrogen), so you don&#039;t get the &quot;highs&quot; you would get with some other bc pills or without bc. also, it is not covered by most insurance because it is a chewable (i&#039;ve paid about $25/mo, which is not as fun as free). and i feel like it gives me uncontrollable breakouts -- i also looked into this and a lack of estrogen causes your skin to produce more oil, which causes breakouts. on the plus side, i haven&#039;t had a period in over a year!

time to switch for me."
