"i did not have a positive experience with this drug. this was given to me when my normal bc was on back-order, and i didn&#039;t think anything of it and began taking orsythia.  within days my face began breaking out like crazy.  absolutely horrible, painful acne, whereas normally my acne is under control.  sure, i suppose it works as a birth control, but to me it isn&#039;t worth this negative side effect."
