"i&#039;ve been on this pill for 2 1/2 months now. it&#039;s been downhill since 3 days after i started taking it. i&#039;ve experienced headaches more often, weight gain (10 lbs), water retention and bloating, my mood has changed radically, i snap all the time for no good reason, irrational agitation, irritability. my anxiety has spiked, i&#039;ve had multiple anxiety attacks since starting this pill (i am also on an anxiety medication and have been for a year and a half and it&#039;s helped with my anxiety levels wonderfully until i started orsythia), i&#039;m almost at my breaking point with it. i&#039;m going to finish out this month and switch to something else. the only positive thing i can say about orsythia is that it has prevented pregnancy. would not recommend."
