"i&#039;m reading all these terrible reviews and i feel like my experience is almost exactly opposite. it&#039;s not perfect, but i&#039;m pretty happy with the birth control. i do struggle with anxiety and depression, but if anything i&#039;ve noticed a &quot;levelling out&quot; over the past month of taking junel. i&#039;m on the iron pills this week though, and i&#039;ve noticed my appetite go through the roof. i was really confused until i went to take the pill this morning and it all made sense. my skin has improved a little, which i&#039;m a little impressed with in only a months time. i&#039;ve suffered from cystic acne for years. i did spot a little in week 1 and then again for a day in week 3, but my period is much lighter than normal, and i&#039;ve heard that it regulates in a few months&#039; time."
