"i&#039;ve been on alesse for 2 months now. i feel extremely tired all the time, even after drinking coffee and usually coffee makes me wired. i constantly feel bloated even when i haven&#039;t eaten anything. then when i do eat something i feel like i&#039;m about to throw up. i&#039;ve noticed that i&#039;ve gained a little bit of weight especially around my tummy/hips. my mood swings are all over the place (i&#039;ll cry and get cranky over the dumbest things all the time)..definitely would not recommend this birth control and plan to go off it asap."
