"i&#039;m 18, and my gyno put me on this to help with my hormone imbalance ( i have a slightly high testosterone level ). i&#039;m almost 2 months into taking it, but within the first  week, lymph nodes in my face painfully swelled up under my skin.they eventually went down, but that was only within a week of taking it, later, i had acne in places i have never had it and cysts under my skin.keep in mind i have never had a problem with acne in my life, 90% of the time prior to this pill my skin was almost completely clear.i had irregular bleeding in the middle of the pack after not getting it when i was supposed to (during the sugar pills), i checked the scale yesterday and i gained 8 pounds so far, and my mood swings are insane. going off this pill asap."
