Comment:
Effective as a birth control. I never had any acne problems so I can't tell about that. It caused severe headaches and made me nauseous and light sensitive. The symptoms lasted longer than the period itself (3-4 days). Caused mood swings and sleeplessnessI. Good I am still a student with these symptoms each months every company would let me go.

Comment:
This birth control has helped with my acne as well as making my periods shorter. They typically last 3 days while I've been on this medication. It really has not helped with my PMS as much as I had hoped.

Comment:
I used this for a week before I had to quit taking it. It caused nausea and vomitting every day. But I also have a very sensitive digestive system and anxiety problems which may have something to do with it.
In the time I was using it, it did help my acne too though.

My face was acne free, PMS was no longer a problem, and my periods went from 5-7 days to 3-4.
