"this birth control did has done its purpose in preventing pregnancy, but my side effects are awful. in the year i have been on the pill, i have gained about 15 pounds and my diet is very healthy and i&#039;m active. this made my acne worse, i have sleepless nights, and i constantly struggle with being down and not being happy. i have been waiting it out to see if this would shift back to normal, but it hasn&#039;t. this might work for someone else but it has not worked for me."
