"i&#039;ve been on junel for 9 months now. for the first month, i had the normal side effects of moodiness, weight gain, nausea, etc. i have not had those issues since. overall, i&#039;ve been happy with junel. i&#039;ve gotten a couple of yeast infections, but they cleared up with medication. i also struggled with breakthrough bleeding for the first several months, but that&#039;s common with any pill. what i&#039;m concerned about currently is my acne. the pill has been helping my acne so far, but over the past couple of weeks i&#039;ve been having issues (acne along the jawline, although not as bad as when i&#039;m off the pill). i intend to monitor it for a month, but if it doesn&#039;t clear up i plan to switch."
