"major hair loss, anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, panic attacks and large dark spot on forehead (melasma)
please stay away from this birth control! in the past, i use to have extremely horrific periods, vomiting and horrible cramps. i started this birth control to help with this and for a while everything seemed great, my periods were normal and the debilitating cramps went away. i thought all was well.  after about 3 years or so i started noticing hair breakage? also, i noticed an odd freckle on my forehead. i had asked a nurse and she said it was a sun spot (i was 29 at the time). the %u201cfreckle%u201d grew larger and larger until it covered most of my forehead!!!! i had to go to 2 doctors to find out what was wrong with me. stay away!"
