"i&#039;ve been on orsythia for about a year now and it&#039;s been the best birth control i&#039;ve been on. all the others made me very emotional and gain weight. at first there was some nausea but eating before taking the pill helped. there&#039;s also breast tenderness when my period starts but thats no surprise. i haven&#039;t gained any weight, my acne cleared up and i&#039;ve never had a pregnancy scare while on this pill even after unprotected sex with my boyfriend. overall i&#039;d say it&#039;s doing a good job."
