"i switched to ortho tri cyclen lo after my insurance changed and yaz became too expensive. i have been on ortho tri cylen lo for about 4 months and it has cleared up my acne and been completely effective as birth control. i was moody and anxious for the first 2 months but i feel like i am adjusting to the hormones! i did gain about 5 lbs, but have lost them with exercise and a healthy diet! i am 5&#039;8, 125lbs. hope this is helpful!"
