"i have been on apri birth control for 3 years now.  i give it a 3 for the fact that it in fact helped me to get and regulate my period, at the very late age of 22.  and that i am not pregnant. but i have worse acne now than i did when i was 13.  i have gained a lot of weight on my hips and stomach.  i have the worst mood swings and my sex drive is completely gone.  it has caused a lot of problems in my relationship since i started taking it."
