"i switched from another pill to this one because of side effects of the other pill. this pill regulated my moods, and increased my chest size and sex drive. however, i gained 12lbs in less than 6 months and was unable to lose it despite diet and exercise. it also gave me dangerously high blood pressure which went back down when i switched off of it. so if you are worried about weight gain and blood pressure this isn&#039;t the pill for you. periods were also heavier than on the previous pill i was on."
