"i hate this pill! i hate all birth control but especially this one. i&#039;ve experienced pretty much every bad side effect. depression/anxiety, mood swings, headaches, acne, weight gain (like 30 lbs in 5 months), cramping, bloating, forgetfulness...and way more. the only pro is that i don&#039;t get cold sores nearly as much and i also only have 2 day periods. other than that awful."
