"For the first couple of months, I was so moody and irritable. It got so bad sometimes I almost gave up, but I stuck with it. My acne was not improving, but by the third month, I really started to notice a difference. Five months later, my acne is almost completely cleared up, and I don't suffer from the depression or anxiety I had before starting this pill and in the early stages. It also helped to regulate my periods, which used to be all over the place."

"Started taking this for three months for acne. The first week caused horrible nausea, which was expected for the first week of taking the pill. Never had an anxiety issue in my life. This caused me nothing but anxiety for absolutely no reason. I would wake up feeling fine, and the second I get to work, everything would start crashing down, I wouldn't be able to walk down the hall without feeling like I was going to pass out. My mouth was dry all day, no matter how much water I drank. That was another trigger for the anxiety, I felt dehydrated."

"Absolutely horrible! My pharmacy switched me over from Tri-Pravafram, which was working very well for me. I was told this medication was 'exactly the same' as the Tri-P... lies. Within one week, I had two acne cysts near my mouth. This never happened to me. Two weeks later, my entire face was covered in cysts and painful whiteheads. My forehead and chin/jawline took the worst beating. I didn't really connect the medication to my issue since the pharmacist had assured me this drug was identical to what I was on before until about 3 months later. I switched pharmacies and got on Tri-Sprintec, and everything cleared up within a month."

"I have been using this birth control for around 9 months, primarily for hormonal acne, along with spironolactone. It’s not the best at clearing up the skin, as I still get pretty persistent acne on my cheeks and jaw. I have not had any issues with my period while using this and have even noticed a lighter flow and fewer cramps, which is always a plus. However, I have experienced ridiculous mood swings that are completely unprovoked. Some days I will be in a terrible mood for no reason, or my emotions will fluctuate heavily. This is the biggest reason why I will be looking to try an alternative brand. I have been using birth control pills for 8 years, and I have noticed that this particular brand does not sit well with me in terms of emotional well-being."

"I've been on this birth control for my acne. And my experience has been really bad. Within the first couple of days, my forehead has broken out terribly, there are a ton of little bumps across it. I usually never get pimples on my forehead. I started also breaking out around my mouth. I hardly get acne there, maybe a little. My jaw breaks out really bad. This gave me major anxiety to be in public. I hate going out on dates because of my face. Although my face looks terrible, it kind of helped clear up my shoulders and chest. It definitely made my chest break out more but slowly cleared up. But, my face being so bad, I am now switching to the big guns of acne control. Can't wait to see those results."

"I've only been using it for a month, but it's been very interesting. I've also never taken birth control before, but decided to when my period pain, PMS, and irregular cycles got out of hand. Taking this medication has actually put me in a better mood and increased my libido. I do feel pretty fatigued from the initial start, though."

"I'm on my 2nd pack. I am mainly on birth control to clear my skin. Since I have started, my acne on my face has gotten so much worse, especially around my mouth and chin. Cheeks are worse too. Trying to be patient because I've read it can take 3+ months to clear acne. It's just a little discouraging. I will say, I haven't gained weight or had breakthrough bleeding!"
