birth control
"I was on a different pill before Minestrin that worked well, but it was discontinued so my doctor switched me to Minestrin. I was on Minestrin for about six months and just recently stopped. I was having spotting and cramping every month. I had bad mood swings each period. Periods were very heavy and irregular. I gained 10 lbs even though I work out 5 days/week and watch my diet. It worked as far as birth control, but the side effects were too much for me. Everyone's body is different and this pill did not agree with me."
