"i am just starting my third pack of this birth control and it has not been a fun experience at all. i&#039;ve gotten headaches every single day, gained weight due to an increased appetite, and my acne has gotten worse. i used to get minor breakouts leading up to my period, but now i get 2-3 new cystic acne spots nearly everyday. the only time my acne calms down is during the placebo week. i am going to finish this third pack and see what happens but if nothing changes i am definitely switching. as of right now would definitely not recommend this birth control."
