"i have been taking generess fe for a year and three months and it works great! no weight gain, no acne, no episodes of mood swings except period pm symptoms but those are normal. i still have a period but it&#039;s shorter and lighter. i do have cramps a lot only on period though. there&#039;s no spotting or discharge for me. i&#039;ve had a great experience with this pill and totally recommend it for those who are anemic like me especially!"
