"absolute worst pill ever. i switched onto this pill bc i was having spotting and constant yeast infections on other pills. switched onto minastrin in early december. immediate weight gain. not 1-2 lbs, 15lbs. i am an active female. i work out 4-5 times a week for 5-10 miles. i kept gaining weight no matter what. no sex drive. no period which is scary and a problem onto itself. i was just switched to another pill to see if these side effects diminish. terrible pill. 15 pounds in 5 months. not worth it. stay away."
