"as far as a birth control that&#039;ll do its job? it&#039;s been great so far. side affects? where do i start? mood swings (i mean major), headaches (non-stop), irritable, tired (24/7), i just don&#039;t have much drive to do a whole lot of anything. hasn&#039;t affected my weight or acne situation as far as i&#039;ve noticed tho. it&#039;s definitely put a strain on my relationship, i&#039;m relatively new to takin it so hopefully all those little kinks will go away. fingers crossed!"
