"i was anemic due to heavy bleeding and began this medication in august to help solve the problem. before starting this medication i had a very healthy lifestyle.  every meal was perfect healthwise and i was at my ideal weight. 2 months in, i gained 15 pounds.  it makes me so hungry i feel like a different person and out of control.  i&#039;ve eaten things i normally wouldn&#039;t have eaten before. i am trying my best to keep the healthy lifestyle in regards to food, but it is very difficult.  
last week i started the spotting. it hasn&#039;t stopped. there are times where it seems like it stops and then a few hours later it is like niagara falls. i also feel unmotivated and kind of depressed. i just want to be normal and this medication isn&#039;t helping."
