birth control
"I took this pill for 2 and a half years for my heavy periods, I recently switched because my new insurance won't cover this one. The first month I experienced little to no side effects but month two was horrible. I had severe headaches, dizziness, constant spotting etc but I waited it out. The symptoms all went away by the 3rd month. From then until I got off it, it was wonderful! It made my periods really light and only lasted around 3 days. I used to have horrible cramps and nausea but on this pill I had no nausea and the cramps were very little, I almost never had to take medicine for the pain. I did experience some weight gain though, 25lbs in 2 years but I also didn't eat too healthily so I'm also to blame. Altogether, Good experience!"
