"i got prescribed this medication because previously i was on trinessa which was giving me week long periods. the plus side of this medication is that i have 2 day periods, none at all, or just some spotting. so thank goodness for that. however, i have only been on it for a few months. the negative side is that it has caused so much acne. i never have had issues with acne, maybe a pimple here and there. i use epiduo every night which i have been prescribed for 7 years, but that doesn&#039;t even help. i have acne on my cheeks, big red pimples on my forehead, some of my chin... it&#039;s ridiculous. decided to call my gyn and am getting switched to mononessa. hopefully i still have very short/no periods but my acne will also clear up!!"
