"i switched to this bc based on the recommendation from my dr; i was looking for a contraceptive that would help with my acne. my previous bc made me hormonal and emotional, as in all of my emotions were on the extremes and i also experienced heightened anxiety and depression. after switching to this brand i saw an evening out of my emotions and anxiety gradually as my body got used to the switch. i didn&#039;t experience any negative side effects at first, but over time as my body has gotten used to the bc i started to gain weight and my emotions are starting to become touchy again, especially during my period. considering i got this for my acne, i&#039;ve only noticed a slight difference, but that may also be due to other changes i have made."
