"I am 23 years old and have been on this medication for about 18 months and I have to say that I absolutely love it! I had unbearable cramps and hot flashes, as well as severe acne before I started. The first month I did bloat, but it quickly disappeared, along with my acne, hot flashes, and cramps. My only complaint is that it also took away my period and I could do without the monthly pregnancy panic. That would be my only reason for switching."
