"i started this as my first ever birth control pill. my doctor prescribed it to me because i had crippling cramps and nausea. the first month my cramps were completly gone and it was amazing, 3 months later they are exactly the same as before i started the pill. i get my period twice a month now. i&#039;ve been getting chronic headaches, repressed appetites, spotting, and cramps. the pill has improved my acne and made me gain a little weight (which i don&#039;t mind because i&#039;m on a weight gaining diet) but otherwise this isn&#039;t the medication for me. i totally need a stronger medication."
