birth control
"I was on Portia when I started birth control, and was on it for years and never had any problems until I switched to Levlen due to insurance changes. Ever since I started this brand, I have gained 27 pounds, had drastic mood swings right before/ while I am on my period and night sweats. The periods are getting more painful as time goes by. I didn't realize all these things I've been experience could be related to the birth control until I looked up reviews and saw similar complaints. I made a doctors appointment for later this week, and I really hope to switch off of Levlen. All the side effects are too unbearable to not notice after 6 months of putting up with them!"
