"i have been on alesse, aviane and sronyx and they were amazing. no acne, weight gain or mood swings.  i have been on for orsythia for three months. the first month i noticed i felt strange and high anxiety with many mood swings. the second month i had all the same symptoms with a five pound weight gain. this month i got vertigo so bad i could barely stand and walk. it made me feel so dizzy and so irritated that i was snapping at everybody. i called my insurance carrier and beg them to put me on any thing but orsythia and they are going to put me back on aviane.  i&#039;ve been on the pill for over 12 years straight and i have never had a series of side effects like i did with this pill. i would not recommend this to anyone."
