"i switched to cryselle after a terrible experience starting birth control with junel. on that, i bled without break for months. so cryselle seemed like a god-send when the bleeding stopped and i had no spotting between periods. minimal side effects besides increased acne. my skin was fine before, but i&#039;ve been on this pill for just under a year now and in recent months have developed horrible, painful cystic acne. i am looking into a new pill now."
