i took this a few years back and it was horrible.. i wanted to add another post so ppl can have more to read about it.. i didn't have a period for 5 months and the doctor said "theres no way thats ur BC your pregnant" so i had lab work and turns out i was right i was not pregnant.. i gained 25-30lbs on this med. and was bloated ALL the time.. i do not recommend this to anyone!!
