"prescribed after experiencing breakthrough bleeding on another oral contraceptive. i gave it a fair go - 4 or 5 months, and i can&#039;t seem to get adjusted. mood swings are more severe, experienced a 10 lb weight gain, feeling considerably more anxious, extreme breast tenderness among feeling nauseated a week prior to period start date. of course, everyone experiences this differently but that&#039;s my story. will be discontinuing this on month end."
