I have used this b/c for about 2-3 years and found that I gained weight very fast once started. I never used to have mood swings until later on. It was only a few days before my period that I would have them but they increased in severity over time. I stopped taking them for 3 months and felt completly normal right away. However, I hate condoms and I am with the same person for 2 1/2 years now and we plan to get married but don't want kids. Until he can get a vasectomy I have decided that I will take the take the mood swings over the parania about getting pregnant. I didn't have any break through bleeding on this pill but tried Othrotricyclin for a few months and bled for about 3 months stright with frequent spotting between my periods. I feel this pill works very well, I never had any pregnancy scares while taking it. I was able to lose most of the weight I gained with some disipline and better eating habits so it's not impossible to manage your weight on this pill. If the mood swings return I may try another pill but I'm hoping this break might have done the trick for a little while.

Since I have been taking this drug I have experienced low sex drive, acne, breast tenderness, arm and leg numbness, and very bad mood swings.
