birth control
"I changed to this birth control at the advice of my gyn to try to treat my menstrual migraine headaches after being on tri-sprintec for almost 10 years. It did what birth control is supposed to do;prevented pregnancy and regulated my period but the side effects were AWFUL! I gained over 20 pounds in less than 6 months, had really really bad mood swings, and the medicine caused me to have bad headaches and migraines at least once a week. Even with dieting and exercise the weight isn't coming off and it's so frustrating. I never had these problems in my 10 years prior on birth control. It has gotten to the point now that I  have discontinued the medication because of the side effects. I hope others have better luck than I did!"
