"i started this medication when i was 15 because i had extremely painful, irregular, and stressful periods. i never knew when it would start or end, and i almost always had to miss at least one day of school per period. it sucked.
when i started this medication, i did notice some spotting for the first month of use. i then had my period and i never spotted again! 
it&#039;s been three years since i started this medication, and i&#039;ve only gained 5 pounds in that time, so i&#039;m assuming it&#039;s unrelated to the medication. i have not noticed any cravings, mood changes, or acne while on this medication."
