I absolutely love this pill. I have been taking it for a about year now and will continue to use it. My acne has disappeared, I have not gained any weight, and my period is light and predictable.

Comment:
I had taken Microgestin for a couple years, but when they stopped manufacturing it, my doctor switched me to Junel. Within a few days of starting Junel, I started noticing that I felt slightly nauseous and very anxious whenever I was in a public place or driving my car. It got to the point where I couldn't focus in my classes, and I had an anxiety attack while driving to a practice. I asked my
