"i rated this birth control a 10, only because i have not gotten pregnant and my face is always clear. unfortunately i gained 26 pounds (i was 100lb when i first started, but not complaining) i had major mood swings, i cried at anything and everything, it gave me depression, i had irrational thoughts (totally not the kind of person i am) and also recurring yeast infections along with a very low sex drive. very effective as a contraceptive, but avoid this pill if you have a history with depression."
