"when i told my doctor about how previous birth controls had made me break out, she prescribed this medicine.  &quot;it&#039;ll clear your face up&quot;, she said. nope. nah ah. i have taken this medication for over 2 months and it has made my acne worse.  way worse. painful cystic acne worse. all over.  i haven&#039;t had acne this bad since high school. it has also made my period very heavy and blood clot-filled, which last for 7 days.  also moodswings. horrible mood swings. the only positive is that i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant. but is it worth it when you&#039;re left feeling horribly self-conscious and depressed???"
