"i&#039;ve been taking this pill for almost a year now. i&#039;ve tried two other different brands prior to this, but due to insurance issues i had to switch to this. it has been my worst experience with birthcontrol! i&#039;ve gained about 10lbs since on this pill, even though i workout and eat healthy i can&#039;t lose the weight. my period is very irregular, i have awful cramps, and my acne came back. but i think the worst side effect is that my sex drive is non-existing which is affecting my relationship. i will be going off this pill soon, and would rather pay more than keep taking it."
