"i have been taking cryselle for about 2-3 weeks now. it is much better than my previous birth control brand (tri-estarylla). my previous birth control caused weight gain, had horrible mental side effects, and caused various other problems. using cryselle has eliminated all of these problems for me. i can&#039;t say i love it just yet, but it is definitely better. my main issue/concern is the spotting. i&#039;ll wake up in the morning and it&#039;ll look like i just came on my period. this pill also moved my cycle up.  i&#039;m used to having periods starting around the middle of the month, but this first month using the pill, it came on the 1st. i&#039;ll speak to my doctor about it, but i&#039;m pretty content so far with this birth control."
