I took this for about 2 years, it was my first birth control. And for the first year or so everything was fine. But more recently i have noticed my moods a week or two before my period are awful.

But otherwise I'm now switching to Lessina hoping it will be different.

This pill has been working fine for me, except I noticed a sudden hair loss without any explanation. Used it for 6-7 months and now loosing hair for about 2-3 months. Wonder if anyone else has the same problem on this pill. I am going to do some more research and considering switching back to my previous pill. Some of the side effects of this pill actually do say is hair loss:(

I was on another generic for Ortho with no side effects and even helping with my acne, but when I switched pharmacies, they gave me this. An insane amount of gas occurred right away and huge swelling of my abdomen, thighs, arms, cheeks. I'm a small, fit woman and didn't change my diet or exercise. I'm stopping after this pack!
