"this was my first birth control medication and i had a pretty rough time with it. i thought it would help clear up my acne. i didn&#039;t have acne issues whatever before taking this medication and it just completely made me break out like never before. also, i&#039;m not much of an emotional person at all and had major mood swings and sometimes depression. yes, it did serve it&#039;s purpose by preventing pregnancy, it did help regulate my period, and my cramps weren&#039;t as bad, however my face is literally a pepperoni face. i just got off of it 2 weeks ago and my face is starting to clear up and i&#039;m not moody anymore. for a 19 year old college student, you definitely don&#039;t want to have acne and mood swings. i would not recommend taking this at all."
