The only complaint I have is the spotting when I first started taking them, but that's with ... Show Full Comment

    My pharmacist switched me to this medication from Ortho tricyclen low, which I was not happy about to begin with. Considering the cost went from free to over 600.00, if I wanted the brand. Therefore, I tried it. I began experiencing fatigue and extreme mood swings and no patience, which is rare. I was snapping at everyone. Also, retaining water and cramping mid month. I just returned from Ob ... Show Full Comment
