"i switched onto this pill from orthotrycyclen lo. the reason i switched was because ortho was making my acne increase and started making my periods very very painful. 

minastrin started off okay for me, if you despise having a period this is for you, this pill was fine until about 6 months in. it started to make me nauseas and moody and so anxious. at first i was worried i was pregnant and ended up going crazy and taking about 10 tests. i&#039;m switching to another pill, but basically my biggest issue with this pill is the side effects i got at the 5/6 month point. i never had a period after the first pack which also added to my constant anxiety &amp; paranoia. it was brown the first period and then nothing."
