"this was my first birth control pill. i was on it for 2 months. i was prescribed this for heavy, long periods (a super plus tampon and a maxi pad would last me about 2 hours at most. setting alarms every 2 hours at night was not fun) and severe cramps that caused me to black out and miss school. i never got acne, but after starting this pill i noticed a few spots-nothing big, maybe 5 or 6 over the course of 2 months. nothing happened to my weight. my periods were extremely light; a regular tampon was all i needed for 4 to 6 hours. i did notice my sex drive decreased greatly, and it did increase the severity of my bipolar disorder. however, i would still recommend this pill."
