"i&#039;m 30 years old and have been on the birth control pill since i was 14 years old due to endometriosis. i&#039;ve had slight side effects from different pills i have taken but this one by far is the worst. i&#039;m on a higher dose of my antidepressant to counter act the mood swings but it sure isn&#039;t helping the weight gain or acne. also, i&#039;ve had two full blown periods since starting this pill 2 months ago. for me, the weight gain and acne isn&#039;t worth it. for my husband, he was looking forward to &quot;no periods&quot; but that ain&#039;t happening! don&#039;t take this pill."
