"i didn&#039;t think this pill was that bad, nor was it my favorite.  my doctor stopped carrying lutera which i&#039;d been on for about a year and loved, and they said tarina was basically the same.  i don&#039;t like it as much- my skin isn&#039;t as perfect as it was on lutera, and some months i have spotting for 2 weeks straight- but i have not experienced any weight gain or nausea on this pill.  it also hasn&#039;t effected my mood the same way lutera did- i was so angry on lutera, any little thing sent me into a rage!  but because of the spotting this pill is kind of a pain.  i tried to skip my period on tarina by skipping the brown pills and going straight to white and that seemed to wreak havoc on my period so i don&#039;t suggest doing that."
