"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for about two years &amp; this is the only one i&#039;ve ever used. i can say i&#039;ve definitely gained weight but i&#039;m sure it had to do with many other factors as well. sex drive decreased and i get moody and irritable. however, nothing is extreme &amp; it does its job. i&#039;ve noticed constant mood swings the week after my period or the first week of the pills so i sometimes double up to avoid the dip in hormones. i guess it&#039;s good enough to the point where i don&#039;t want to trial and error any other one so that&#039;s why i stay on it. everyone&#039;s body&#039;s are so different"
