"before leaving for a semester abroad, i requested that my doctor give me a birth control where i wouldn&#039;t have periods every month. that turned out to be a big mistake. once i started taking jolessa, i became much more moody and overall depressed. i started getting zits on my chest and back - something that hasn&#039;t happened to me since freshman year of high school! my acne on my face has gotten worse. i gained 10 pounds. i have always been the kind of person that could get away with eating whatever i want (fast food 5 times a week!) and not exercise and never weigh more than 134 pounds, but not anymore. no change after altering dietary &amp; exercising habits. after 5 months taking jolessa, i&#039;m most definitely switching after i finish this pack."
