"taken for nearly a year. started after a terrible few months on junel fe, when i was depressed and anxious &amp; had no sex drive. before junel, i&#039;d taken loestrin for ~6 months (neutral experience), but my copay was so high i had to switch. after a few bad months, my doctor recommended orsythia. and my new insurance covers it at no copay!

pros
-no pregnancies!
-lighter, shorter periods with somewhat reduced cramps.

neutral
-may have helped clear up acne, although i think most of that was due to other prescriptions from my dermatologist. 

cons
-somewhat decreased sex drive, but that also could be from my antidepressant, escitalopram."
