"i have been on this pill for about 7 months, and the only side effect i&#039;ve experienced is that i no longer get my period at all. i&#039;ve been to my doctor who says that this is completely normal. the reason i started taking minastrin is because i had very severe period cramps that often caused me to throw up and pass out, and since i&#039;ve stopped getting my period, obviously this problem has been solved."
