acne
"When I told my doctor about how previous birth controls had made me break out, she prescribed this medicine.  "It'll clear your face up", she said. Nope. Nah ah. I have taken this medication for over 2 months and it has made my acne WORSE.  WAY worse. Painful cystic acne worse. All over.  I haven't had acne this bad since high school. It has also made my period very heavy and blood clot-filled, which last for 7 days.  Also MOODSWINGS. Horrible mood swings. The only positive is that I haven't gotten pregnant. But is it worth it when you're left feeling horribly self-conscious and depressed???"
