"i was concerned about starting safyral after reading some of the reviews here, but have been pleasantly surprised by how easy my transition onto it has been. i was not on any contraceptive previously, and when i started my safyral regimen my only side effect was very light spotting for the first month. not only did i escape mood swings, weight gain, acne, nausea, etc., but my usual menstrual symptoms (bloating, cramps, breakouts) have become almost nonexistent. i am not yet sexually active so i can&#039;t speak to safyral&#039;s effectiveness as a contraceptive, but i&#039;ve been very happy with it in the meantime."
