"i&#039;ve been taking this pill for about 6 months now, and have gained 20 pounds. i haven&#039;t made any change to my diet or exercise routine. but the pill&#039;s been working well otherwise. i never really got acne, so that stayed about the same, i&#039;m about the same emotionally, except for maybe worse pms symptoms. my sex drive is outrageous, maybe even a little more than when i started on the pill...i&#039;m just worried about the amount of weight gained in such a short time..i am also really bad at remembering to take the pill every day."
