"I never really had acne until this stuff. Hard cystic acne all over my jawline. Terrible headaches and nausea. I've been on it for 2 weeks, but I'm about to call it quits. Too many side effects; it's just not worth it. It's unbelievable."

"This was the only thing that worked for my adult acne. It kept my skin relatively clear, especially in the chin area, where I otherwise would get cystic acne during certain weeks of my cycle."

"Used for a month or two. Gave me terrible migraines daily, along with irritability and nausea. I didn’t notice any difference in my acne."

"Yes, it did clear my acne, but the hair loss, weight gain (15 lb over the year), and depression were not worth it. I did not feel like myself at all. Would not recommend."

"The Ortho Tri-Cyclen worked great for 15 years. Now discontinued, very upsetting. On Tri-Previfem for 1 month now. The verdict is still out. Anyone had any good luck with a generic?"

"This stuff doesn't work for acne. It hasn't helped my skin at all, and that was one of the reasons why I got birth control."

"If I could give it a -100, I would. Made me super depressed, and I was covered in acne, not to mention nauseous. 25/8, that is worse than 24/7!!"
