"i&#039;ve only been on it for a month, but i&#039;m really liking it so far. i haven&#039;t experienced any noticeable side effects. i have trouble with irregular &amp; painful periods, acne, depression, mood swings, insomnia, etc. so far i&#039;ve noticed that i haven&#039;t broken out since i started this birth control. i also have felt less depressed. i&#039;ve had 1 period while on this birth control and it was just as painful as usual, but the bleeding was much slower and much lighter. (i go through 2 tampons every 8 hours as opposed to 2 every 1 hour) i haven&#039;t noticed any mood swings and my insomnia has definitely improved. overall i really like this birth control. the only thing that could make it better is if it made my periods completely pain-free."
