"i&#039;ve been taking cryselle for over a year and i find it the best birth control for me. i&#039;ve taken several others that made me sick and cryselle gives me the least side effects. i get moody on and off but that&#039;s normal for any woman in general. i&#039;ve had less cramping and periods are normal. i gained 4 pounds but that&#039;s also something that comes with it, just like either losing weight. overall i like cryselle!!"
