"i got the pills for free at planned parenthood. they were effective in the aspect that i never got pregnant, but the side effects were pretty horrible. i had clear skin all my life, but when i got on the pill i suffered from bad acne. i gained about ten pounds, a full cup size, and i felt constantly bloated. by the third month, i started suffering anxiety and depression. this medicine changed my personality and really messed with my head. after quitting, i&#039;ve finally started to get my life back and my anxiety is going away. i personally don&#039;t think these pills are worth the side effects."
