"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for about three or four months now. my doctor prescribed it because i was getting to the point where i was sexually active frequently and she said this one was good, and it is! for pregnancy prevention, at least. but, it has a few downsides. this medication makes me very prone to panic attacks, mood swings, and depressed states. when i start a new pack, i always get a little nauseous and  i bloat easily. it&#039;s very on and off for period regulation. sometimes i&#039;m light, sometimes heavy, sometimes no period at all. that being said, my acne is gone and i&#039;m not pregnant and my cramping is minimal. does it&#039;s job, but not for everybody."
