"i am 23, for age reference. my mother talked me into getting this back in february (2014). since then, i have had horrendous breakouts on my cheeks, chest and my back; i haven&#039;t had problems with acne ever. when i don&#039;t wear makeup, my face is paler than usual. my energy is gone, i&#039;ve become anemic and like most others, sex sounds &#039;meh.&#039; i have had maybe ten days of non bleeding. i swear i keep kotex in business. as far as the birth control aspect, it works great; i don&#039;t want to get it on at all! i&#039;m giving it until august (the 6th month mark) to see if my body accepts it. however, at this point, i&#039;m over it."
