"i take this for birth control &amp; acne. i&#039;ve been on this pill going on 2 years. i&#039;m 35 &amp; used to take this pill in my early 20&#039;s as well. it&#039;s has always helped with my acne. i rarely get breakouts like before. i had an iud for years too, but didn&#039;t like the spotting always at the wrong time.  so i went back on the pill. my skin has never felt and looked this  good.  however, i am also dealing with the random spurts of depression and lack of sex drive. that really sucks.  i do feel moodier than normal. my boyfriend has also noticed the change. i stay on it because it does it&#039;s job. just got to deal with the side effects."
