Birth Control
"I was given this to treat my cystic acne, and severe mood swings due to PMDD. This isn&#039;t my first time on birth control, either. Orsythia has been working well, a little too well! My acne vanished, my skin texture changed (for the better), and I no longer lash out at anyone for simply calling my name. 

However, now that it&#039;s been in my system for 5 months, I&#039;ve developed dependent edema. My legs swell up like balloons, and they&#039;re firm to the touch. Anyway, overall, it works great, but with that nasty edema, I&#039;ve been switched to a lower dosage of another brand. If you need a BC with some UMF!, Orsythia is your best bet. If not, find something weaker."
