"before starting this pill, my flow was way too heavy! i would literally bleed through a super tampon and a pad in less than 2 hours. (horrible i know.) also my skin would get pimples like crazy. within the first 2 months my period was lighter and managable.  my acne also cleared up. but my mom and others would notice that i was super quiet, i&#039;m usually talkative, so she thought i was depressed. i&#039;m not completely sure it was the pill&#039;s fault. currently i am off the pill to see if my flow has gotten lighter.  i&#039;m giving it a 9 because of the &quot;depression&quot; stage my peers thought i was going through."
