"works well in the form of birth control but the side effects are terrible. my periods went from 4 days long to 2 weeks long with random spotting in between, i&#039;ve gained 20 pounds in 4 months, i have constant breakouts, and the mood swings are unbelievable. my anxiety and depression have gone through the roof and i can barely perform daily tasks anymore. i&#039;ve never had any of these problems until this medicine, getting it removed soon."
