"i began taking reclipsen during february of 2015. developed cystic acne. i&#039;ve always had a few spots here and there, but nothing like this. i even switched to all-organic skin products which helped a little. i developed insane headaches. i became extremely emotional and began crying at the drop of a hat, where in the past, i could count on 2 hands how many times i would cry per year. worst of all, i gained 20 lbs from feb-oct 2015. i exercise, have a plant-based diet, and i&#039;m 22 so my metabolism hasn&#039;t quite slowed yet. no excuse for that and not flattering on a 5&#039;4&quot; frame. it prevented pregnancy (thus 2/10), but the side effects aren&#039;t worth enduring this pill. switching to paragard in a week and a half. no more hormones for me."
