Pros:Not pregnant, happy with skin
Cons:Feel nauseous in AM (but don't get sick)
Bottom Line:I started with the red pills and felt fine, despite warnings that it causes nausea. I even took it during the day with no problem. I went on to the green pills and got my period (right on time). But when I went to the yellow pills (taken right before bed), I started feeling nauseous in the mornings ~ but didn't actually get sick. I'm happy with its efficacy in preventing pregnancy, and my skin is improved (still some acne but no cysts). Hope my morning nausea fades away, skin keeps clearing up and my insurance covers the full cost.
Recommended:Yes
