O.k. Birth control has different effects on everyone, but I know for a fact this pill has been terrible for me. I used to be on Ortho tri cyclen for 10 years, but I needed to switch since I started spotting. Loestrin 24 fe helped with that, but I gained about 13 lbs in the first month & had a horrible depression which made me hate the world. I fought with everyone and I know its from this pill because I was off all bc's for 2 months & was so happy & normal. I know it put weight on me because I work out all the time & I have weighed the same for 10 years. I started on this pill & "bang" I'm huge. I was also hungry all of the time and my left eye twitches.I have one more pill & then I am switching to a new bc. Good luck if you're on this!
