"i had a negative experience with this pill. i took it for a year, and while it effectively served the purpose of preventing pregnancy, that&#039;s the only positive thing i have to say about it. i experienced side effects of depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety and a panic attack, frequent breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, and weight gain of 10 pounds. i am not prone to weight gain and haven&#039;t had this issue or emotional issues with the other 2 birth control pills i&#039;ve taken. i would advise extreme caution in proceeding with taking this pill. i should have read the reviews before i took it."
