"when i first read and heard about all the possible side effects i was terrified. people will say that it&#039;s ok and that you still look fine with acne, but unless you have acne you&#039;ll never understand how self conscious you are about it. the first two to three weeks of the treatment made acne worse than i had ever it and i felt even worse but after that, my face started clearing up like magic. the only side effects i experienced were chap lips and mood swings. my mood swings only lasted about a month. however the chap lips lasted the entire time i was on the pill and about two months after. my face has remained clear for almost 6 months. i still get one or two pimples very rarely but they&#039;re small and go away quickly without any scars."
