"i have been on this pill for almost a year now and it has been pretty good! in the beginning, my periods were still very heavy and cramp-induced. i also had mood swings and got depressed for some time, but not sure if that was entirely due to the pill. about 3-4 months into the pill, my body adjusted, my periods regulated and are much lighter and shorter. i had moderate acne and this pill has improved my skin. still get a breakout every now and then, but i&#039;m grateful. i&#039;m just a bit scared for when i come off the pill (will my acne return with a vengeance?)"
