"it works well. i&#039;ve been on it for 8 months. i think the only bad thing is that i spot before i start the last week of pills. it&#039;s not a big deal but it&#039;s kind of annoying. i was switched the first month from lutera to orsythia and i didn&#039;t have any side effects from either. i haven&#039;t gained weight, my sex drive is great, and i haven&#039;t had any random breakouts. it&#039;s a good pill."
