"this is the second type of birth control (both the pill) that i have been on. i was only on the other kind for a month, because it made me crazy and i had awful mood swings. i took a year off from any birth control pill, patch, etc. because i was scared to have a similar situation. this pill has been an overall good experience. i do not have any irregular mood swings on this pill. i have been on it for about 3 months now, and my acne is still worse than before i got on it, not that it&#039;s a big deal. also, i have had a lot of abnormal spotting on this pill. it seems like, at first, every 2 weeks or so i started my period. it&#039;s pretty light, but i get bad cramps that last for 2-4 days."
