"my pharmacy used this brand and cryselle interchangeably, but both were generally the same thing for me. i gained a lot of weight on depo before this, and though i haven&#039;t gained more on this pill, i haven&#039;t been able to lose much weight on it either. my face isn&#039;t necessarily breaking out, but cheeks have been red with little bumps almost like rosacea since starting this brand. it isn&#039;t constant but does flare up sometimes. the only really bad side effect i&#039;ve noticed is i&#039;ve gotten really bad anxiety and mood swings. it is still way better than how i felt on depo and the birth control is really cheap ($15 per pack) so i will stick with it until i have money to try other brands"
