birth control
"I have been taking Minastrin for over two years now. Acne was never a severe problem for me but I now only break out (usually just a few zits/pimples, nothing major) during the last week of the pack like clockwork. I did gain weight, however the time frame does coincide with my "freshman 15" so I don't think I can blame it entirely on this medication. It does make me a bit moody, but predictably so. This is the only birth control I've ever tried, and honestly I only have chosen it since it's completely covered by my insurance. It works well enough (I haven't gotten pregnant) but I am thinking about switching to an IUD since I am worried about drug interference and the risk of blood clotting."
