"this was my first birth control pill. the first month, i had some light spotting, which is expected when starting most pills. i&#039;ve now been on the pill for three months, i&#039;ve experienced some weight gain but nothing drastic. my breasts have gotten larger, and occasionally in the week before my period, i am easily irritated. it has lessened the acne i get before my period as well, but has not made it completely disappear. no change in sex drive and no crazy mood swings or depression. i am only switching to a lower hormone dose pill because in the last month of taking this, i had a huge psoriasis flare, and i know that it&#039;s from the pill because i never had it before taking it, and it cleared as soon as i started the placebos."
