Went on this for 6 weeks total - first 2-3 weeks okay, then developed very painful cystic acne along chin and jaw. Felt extremely tired every day and had trouble doing normal tasks, plus strange, tingly sensations in legs. Also felt very teary and depressed to the point of suicidal ideation. I know the pill effects everyone differently but I would be extremely wary of going on this without proper awareness of the risks and amount of changes it could potentially cause.
