"i just switched to apris a few months ago because my insurance would not cover my other generic birth control. literally within 2 months i put on about 15lbs without changing my diet or exercise routine. i have been trying to get the weight off but it seems impossible. i also have had worse acne and have been tired quite a bit. i also have lost my sex drive. to me, i would rather live my life feeling better about myself and have a better sex life than to be on this. to me, the cons outweigh the pros."
