"i was on levlen for around 8 months. i started it a month before my wedding day, and because i&#039;m still quite young, i was really adamant about contraception. after researching about pills, i figured as long as i didnt get acne breakouts, gain weight or get hairy, it was perfect. boy, was  i wrong! i was completely depressed, anxious and stressed the entire time, my libido was almost non-existent and i started to get cyctic acne on my face... you can imagine how all of this would affect newlyweds!! it wasnt until i had a major breakdown a month ago that i knew i had to get off levlen asap! i&#039;m now on femme tab and its working fine, just waiting to see how my hormones will react!"
