"got switched to this one from microgestin when i switched from my online pharmacy to publix. yikes! it wreaked havoc on my health: ibs, hair loss, loss of metabolic flexibility, low energy, weight gain (2 lbs, but it still makes a different on my 5&#039;3&quot; frame)... instead of enjoying my workouts (i&#039;m a gym rat), i was merely going through the motions. my workout intensity decreased dramatically because it was too uncomfortable to push to my usual intensity. i was reluctant to attribute my symptoms to my new pill because the symptoms appeared 1 month after the switch from microgestin. still tried switching back and am so glad that i did. i am back to normal within a week. yay!"
