"this is my first birth control pill and have been on it going on 3months. aside from the fact that it seems to be working well with lighter &amp; shorter periods, there are some negatives. it gives me terrible lingering headaches; which sometimes turn into migraines. it also makes me very nauseous. i feel dizzy &amp; squeeze at times. with this said, i take it in the evenings before i go to bed, so i&#039;m not awake during the instant side effects. i realized i have also been a bit irritable, gained weight and i have also been feeling very overwhelmed by things! with all of this said, maybe i will consider changing over. but each one has it&#039;s new side effects. so maybe i&#039;ll stick it out."
