"i was on this birth control for about 8-10 years. at first it was great only getting your period a few times a year. in the time i was on it my face started to break out and i gained about 40 lbs. i was depressed and had no energy or sex drive as well. i would spot for weeks until stopping so i would get my period. i finally got off of it because my health insurance ran out. almost immediately my skin cleared up and i lost 20 lbs. then i started dating someone so i had to get back on. i started with mono-lynthia which was fine for my skin but made my hair fall out. i then switched back to seasonique and i have been on it for a week and already have had 3 huge zits on my chin and feel extremely moody and bloated."
