"been on this birth control for about 6 months now. i had tried so many other pills and everything gave me side effects like extreme anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, and breakthrough bleeding. when i switched to this one the only side effect i had was weight gain but now on my sixth pack i&#039;m starting to get really bad acne around my chin and forehead and my horrible menstrual cramps are back. thinking about switching again. my poor skin has scars now:( it does however work to prevent pregnancy though."
