"i&#039;m on month 3 taking this after being forced to switch from minestrin fe (i really liked this one) due to insurance changes. i&#039;d been on bc for many years but so far i&#039;m not too happy with this one, especially when it is supposed to be very much like the minestrin. month one i had bloating and breast pains, month two i was getting headaches about every other day (not migraines, just annoying). i&#039;ve learned to give a change of bc 3-4 months before deciding. i&#039;ve had less headaches this month but i&#039;ve still had more than i ever had with minestrin. periods are very light and are lasting only a day or so. i got a discount card from my doctor to help pay for this prescription fyi saving me about $200."
