"i started typing out a long saga but ran out of character space so long story short: wore the ortho-evra patch back in high school, worked great, got rid of my moderate acne. fast forward to now, dermatologist prescribed ortho tri cyclen for my acne (it&#039;s come back since quitting previous birth control).. been on this stupid pill for 2 months along with spironolactone and minocyclin and it&#039;s turned my moderate white heads into gross, painful cystic acne and i&#039;m getting married in 4 months and do not have a year to wait it out. my self esteem and sanity are not worth waiting on this pill to work. switching back to the patch today. i&#039;m giving it 2 stars because maybe if i waited it out it would work but bride-to-be ain&#039;t got time for that ✌"
