Comment:
I have been on this for a little over a year. I have not been happy on this drug. I have felt wiped out and moody all the time. I get horrible muscle spasms for most of the cycle and I can't sleep at night because of them. I also have horrible bloating and I have gained some weight.

Easy to use, very effective. Been on it for a couple years but after a while I think my body got used to it and my period started breaking through before my three months were up. Then when it was time for me to get my period, I barely had it. Not that bad of downfall and I love getting my period every three months but I felt my body wasn't happy with it. No weight gain, headaches, or mood swin

Comment:
I took this medication for 9 months. I was told to expect a regular period every 3 months that would last 1 week. Instead I have a light/regular period every 5 weeks that last 2-3 weeks.
The longer I took it the worse it got and I had to eventually stop all together and go back to normal birth control
