"i have been on this pill for about three years. it was the very first and only birth control pill i have ever taken. when i first started i experienced nausea and vomiting but it went away after a week.  one time i forgot to take the pill and i was horribly sick for two days.  overall the pill does work. i am not pregnant, it helps with acne a little bit and it decreases cramps.  i do have a decreased sex drive and i am emotional. i am planning to change or discontinue the use of birth control pills, but as always everyone is different and i would recommend consulting with your doctor."
