"i took this pill for 2 and a half years for my heavy periods, i recently switched because my new insurance won&#039;t cover this one. the first month i experienced little to no side effects but month two was horrible. i had severe headaches, dizziness, constant spotting etc but i waited it out. the symptoms all went away by the 3rd month. from then until i got off it, it was wonderful! it made my periods really light and only lasted around 3 days. i used to have horrible cramps and nausea but on this pill i had no nausea and the cramps were very little, i almost never had to take medicine for the pain. i did experience some weight gain though, 25lbs in 2 years but i also didn&#039;t eat too healthily so i&#039;m also to blame. altogether, good experience!"
