"i have been using this pill for 5 months and during this time, i gained over 10 lbs, and my anxiety and paranoia has caused irreparable damage to my relationship. i must note i work out and have no changes in lifestyle that should&#039;ve caused me to gain weight. i am constantly sad, on the verge of tears, i am oversensitive and negative. i am just not myself. i gave the pill more than the 3 month trial period because i don&#039;t want to keep switching hormones, but i cannot keep this up any longer. i am going to try the nuva ring. for the record, i was previously on diane 35 very happily for 2 years with no side effects but my doctor took me off because it is apparently too high in hormones"
