For Birth Control "I started taking this medication for my acne, and in just a little under 2 weeks, my skin has broken out worse than it ever has in years. I have acne-prone skin and had finished a round of Accutane about 6 months ago and broke out here and there around my period, so I started BC to control those breakouts, but it made my acne 10x worse. I have clusters of bumps around my jawline and a new cyst every day. On top of that, my mood swings are horrible! I find myself crying or getting irritated over the smallest things and have been feeling very depressed. I’m going to try and switch pills, but for now, getting off of this BC!"

For Birth Control "I started using this to help regulate my extremely irregular periods. I've been using it for a little over three months now. As for side effects, I've been breaking out, which rarely happens to me. I've also been experiencing a lot of mood swings. However, the good news is that my periods are now light, less painful, and only last a couple of days. My doctor mentioned that it is a low-dosage birth control and does not work well as a contraceptive. However, I've seen many people saying that low-dosage works just as well as any other and that they use this birth control as a contraceptive, and it works. So, that has left me confused."

For Birth Control "For anyone looking to get on birth control, I highly encourage you to not take this pill. I used to be on a different pill for my acne, and when I moved, my new pharmacy prescribed me this, and it has made my acne significantly worse. I'm breaking out everywhere, and I don't know what to do. Also, it has made me have the most intense mood swings, and I am usually someone who is in a pretty neutral mood most of the time. Getting off of it after this pack is up!!"
