I was on cilest for years and it was only when I came off it that I noticed how much it had been affecting my mood. It made me very irritable and short tempered. It totally killed my sex drive. It did wonders for clearing up my skin but that wasn't worth it for the other side effects.

I was on this pill for nearly 10 years and as a result, I couldn't tell what was a side effect any more! Overall, I have always been very happy with it.
