Birth control is going to kill me

Yeah, it freaked me out when I first started taking it, too. The only good thing that came out of it is that after all these years of trying everything, birth control completely cleared up my horrid acne. My doctor put me on it because I have an insanely irregular period, but, it hasn't helped it. So, I'm not sure what's up. And, lately, I've been having hot flashes. *shrugs*

It cleared up your acne?! That's awesome. =)

It's giving me acne, which I never really had before.

I'm also having hot flashes. I am glad to know I'm not alone (nor psycho).

most of my friends on it say weight gain is the biggest problem. on the same note, i know two girls who lost weight easily when they were on. i wonder why the difference, but i guess weight isn't what you're trying to prevent on birth control anyway.

Actually, I've lost a few pounds, too. It's weird. I go through days where I am not hungry at all, and the sight of food disgusts me. Other days, I have the munchies and just want to snack, snack, snack.

So, I guess the notbeinghungry days balance out the iwannaeateverything days.
