I switched to this one from Mercilon, it was great no issues other than loss of sex drive so I was hoping this one would bring it back. I'd say it helped a tiny bit in terms of me actually wanting sex but the negatives far outweigh the positives. I've had crazy back pain, super-sensitive breasts, late periods, headaches, spots etc. My body really doesn't agree with this pill and I'll be switching back to my previous one.

I haven't experienced any negative side effects until now while taking this pill! Only, my boyfriend said that my breast got larger and my skin got better. This was my fist time to take pills and glad that I do some research first before trying any.
