"i loved this pill at the beginning, highly recommend it for young adults that are going through late teen puberty , it was great to start off on as a bc but after three  going on 3 1/2  years i began to notice my anxiety levels shot through the roof at the week before my period. i kept brushing it off as pms but it started to become worse after i began to dread taking the pill after the 2 weeks of the pack, knowing my third week was coming up. long term it did what a birth control is suppose to do, clear acne, didn&#039;t gain much weight (i&#039;m very petite) and had my periods every month. just know after 3 years i definitely started to get tired of a pill changing my moods heavily. may be biased opinion but would not recommend to stay on this pill for years"
