"i have been on chatael for 12 months now. i did have mood swings and did cry a lot the first week i was on the pill just because my body was getting used to it. by the second week i was perfectly fine. i did not gain weight and my skin has been perfectly normal. my periods are light to normal and last only 3-4 days and come like clock work. i got it from planned parenthood and the only reason i&#039;m switching (to levora) is because at planned parenthood it did cost 27$ for each pack. overall very happy with it and i&#039;m hoping levora works just as well for me and doesn&#039;t give me bad side effects or i&#039;ll definitely switch back."
