"in the first few months that i was on this drug i had a a few side effects. i had some spotting between periods, not much, but some. the real issues was that i was ridiculously fatigued all the time. i constantly wanted to sleep and every nap i took would last hours. the spotting went away after a month or two and the fatigue went away after about 2/3 months. the only side effect i have now is a lowered sex drive. 

i used to get very heavy periods that lasted 7 full days with bad cramps almost every day. the very first period i had on this drug was already shortened by a day or two and now almost a year later i barely even bleed anymore. i could do without the lowered sex drive but as a whole i have no complaints about my experience."
