"first i want to remind everyone that we all react differently to medications. if i would have gone off these reviews i wouldn&#039;t have ever started taking this birth control let alone any of them.  i have been on it a month now. the first week i had very high anxiety levels which was difficult to push through but after 10 days it subsided.  i do notice i am bloated pretty much all the time but with time i hope that will pass as well. i have had mild cramps every now and then. otherwise i am fine. don&#039;t let bad reviews scare you off. i would recommend this pill."
