"i have been on this birth contraceptive for five months,  some may say you should wait several months to fully review but i am currently dealing with cystic acne,  that of which i have never ever had before and funny thing is i&#039;m also on an acne medication and it still won&#039;t fix anything (been on it for three and a half months). it has not helped my cramps, makes me nauseous and i have developed heavy depression from time to time with no reason to. i&#039;m gonna get off of it as soon as possible but whenever i take the placebo pills is when i get insane acne, gonna have to make sure i use a very strong acne medication when i do get off of it since my hormones are so out of balance "
