"The first six months of this pill were a dream. I had been so fed up all the other pills I&#039;ve tried. There was no weight gain (I was able to lose my freshman 15) and my sex drive was great, though no improvement or decline of the acne situation. Six months in, I started getting two periods a month and gained 20 pounds in places I&#039;ve never gained weight before. My emotions have been absolutely out of control: constantly irritable, always on the verge of tears, and no energy. I&#039;m still on it for the simple fact that going off it could cause unbearable depression-- I&#039;ve tried before. Currently attempting to get to my home gyno and get a new prescription. "
