"i was on alesse for the last 2.5 years - my cramps calmed down quite a bit but i was still spotting (but without bc i would have 7 day periods and terrible cramps, i also have fibroids). my doctor suggested that i change pills since i should have stopped spotting and put me on tricyclean. i was on this pill for two months and although i did not have spotting, i noticed that it caused major mood swings, depression, weight gain (10 pounds), tenderness in breast, and my skin has changed (occasional pimple and normal skin, i started to have red bumps, pimples and oily). i&#039;ve decided to stop using this pill as it is not for me. 
my doctor has suggested i go on this new pill called &quot;lolo&quot; by actavis. i can&#039;t find much on it and will prob not use it."
