"i was on trinessa for 4.5 years, originally went on it to control my acne, which it did for the most part, but definitely not 100%, despite having a strict face cleansing routine. it didn&#039;t start to clear my skin for at least 2 months, at that time i also increased about two cup sizes which was nice. i had slight moodswings in the first 3 months but i think thats to be expected when going on the pill. haven&#039;t had moodswings since the first 3 months. im going off of it now because in the past week i have noticed i&#039;m breaking out a lot and i think i&#039;ve been on this too long for it to keep controlling my acne."
