"i&rsquo;ve used orsythia for two years without any issue. i have a long history of anxiety and it has not been affected by the pill, nor have i experienced any nausea. i take it precisely at the same time everyday and it has worked great. i&rsquo;ve put on a few pounds but i think everyone should evaluate their diet before blaming the pill, it&rsquo;s pretty much impossible for a pill to make you gain 20+ pounds unless your diet is unhealthy and you&rsquo;re lacking exercise. it&rsquo;s a pretty generic birth control and i would assume that the horrifying side affects listed by previous reviews are probably rare and true for all birth control on the market. so give it a try, it&rsquo;s not a miracle pill, but it&rsquo;s not a anxiety inducing weight gain supplement either."
