"my gyno recommended this pill to help with my pms symptoms and migraines. i took it for 6 months and i had no migraines episodes after i started it, didn&#039;t have my periods (not even spotted) and therefore no pms symptoms. it was 100% effective for that reason but on the other hand, i&#039;ve gained 20 lbs that no matter what i did i couldn&#039;t lose them. i quit the pill 30 days ago. it took one month for me to get my first period after starting in this pill and in 30 days i&#039;ve already lost 10 lbs! the weight gain is the only reason why my rating was so low. no woman would like to be treated for one symptom and get as a gift the side effect of gaining weight!"
