"ive been on orsythia for 3 weeks. the side effects im having are nightly nausea probably 4-5 nights a week. one night my first week i did vomit. ugh, its been miserable. the other main side effect is that i have had my period for 15 days now. its a regular flow too!! that has honestly been obnoxious too. i am not sexually active so i dont know if it is working to actually be birth control. i will say though, i have depression and anxiety and i have no noticeable mood changes which is awesome:) also no weight gain!!! woo!!! my boobs are a little bigger though.... which isnt so bad;) anyways i think its a lot better than beyaz which i was on about 4 years ago. :)"
