"i have been on reclipsen for 1 month as of next sunday, and i must point out that there are some downfalls of this birth control. reclipsen does work very well as a reliable birth control method as long as you follow the instructions that come with the medication (taking one pill once a day at the same time daily). however, since a few days after i began taking reclipsen, i&#039;ve been running into some issues concerning painful headaches and acne flare ups. i&#039;ve been on ortho-tri cyclen birth control pill in the past, &amp; i do not remember having any issues as far as headaches or acne while i was on that medication. reclipsen is reliable, but do beware because you may receive some uncomfortable side affects when beginning this medication."
