"it took me a bit to find a birth control that worked for me, but out of them all, tri-cyclen lo was the worst experience. i noticed weight gain in my stomach in the first 2 weeks to the point where my jeans wouldn&#039;t fit. i thought to myself that if this is the only problem, i will work with it. i was wrong -over the first 2months i became frustrated over the smallest things, lost motivation to be active, and became depressed that i wouldn&#039;t want to see anyone. i would cry myself to sleep not understanding why.. this pill took over my body (emotionally)-i became a different person and everyone in my life noticed it too. getting off this pill was the best decision i made."
