"I have been on the pill for 3 months now. It helped my acne fairly good, regulated my period. As far as weight gain, I have been experiencing a lot of &quot;cravings&quot; more than ever before! Loss of energy, tiredness, mood swings are also side effects that I have experienced. I used to enjoy the gym but now I don&#039;t feel as motivated. My sex drive is blaaaa.  I do recommend drinking a lot of water when taking the pill."
