"i have been on this medication for roughly 3 and a half years and couldn&#039;t imagine being on anything else. it cleared up my acne that i struggled with for a long time and now i only get a few breakouts during my period. it also made my periods so light and regular, but sometimes it&#039;s almost hard to tell if i even have my period. it has also prevented pregnancy even when i didn&#039;t use a condom. if it wasn&#039;t for not being able to tell if i even get my period on occasion, i would rate this medication a 10. however, with that being said, all bodies respond differently to different medications so that side effect might only pertain to me."
