Ladies, Ladies, Ladies...I am going on 38 and have problems with my skin since I started having periods when I was 12. It was horrible all through high school and college. I suffered alot of damage to my self esteem because of it. My back is forever scarred terribly from painful cyctic acne. I went to dermotologist from an early age-tetracycline,Retin-A (which was a couple of hundred dollars) not one but TWO sessions of Accutane ($300 a month for several months years ago) every topical thing I could could my hands on. You frickin' name it, I've tried it. Yes, Ortho-tri-cyclen DOES INDEED WORK FOR ME ! It will take 2-3 months to start working and 2-3 months for your acne to return after you stop taking it. Yes, ortho does have a small amount antibiotics which can knock your friendly bacteria in your intestines out of balance which means yeast infection but 90% of the US population has an inbalance of yeast. Everyone, yes everyone, who eats an amercian diet should be supplementing with acidophillus. Can get it at any health store (KEEP REFRIGERATED). Better yet, detox, change your lifestyle and diet, cut out all sodas, white flour, and SUGAR ! Yes sugar. I know it sucks. But the short cuts are not all they are cracked up to be. They are actually quite dangerous.! ACCUTANE is dangerous and toxic they won't even give it to you unless you are on birth control AND sign a release stating you know it actual does cause severe birth defects) Don't believe the marketing crap. Those people don't care about you. Because all this crap I have put in my body ny liver is severly damaged. Ladies, do you own research and don't trust any doctor however nice he/she is.

i am 21. I started taking ortho tri-cyclen 1.5 months ago. My life turned to hell, I AM SERIOUS!! i always was very conscious about my skin since I have had acne for a while. But it always would be moderate, sometimes would clear up, especially when I would use some special skin care from cosmetologists. My doctor prescribed me ortho to help me with both cramps and clear my skin. I got the worst acne ever, cystic acne. I started getting these deep, hard, and painful pimples. When my friends saw me after couple of weeks they were shocked. they said that my whole face was swallen. I was breaking out even more especially around my chin and lower part of the chick,and not significantly on other parts. i was stressing out and still am. It's been alredy 1.5 months and my acne is is not gone. i got already scarring on my face which makes me hate to look at the mirror. I am afraid to go out of the house, embarassed to meet people. that's crazy, I don't think I and many of you deserve it!!! i did already microdermabrasiona nd a facial to help my scars and exsisting acne. i really don't know what should I do. Should i stop or should i continue take it. if anybody knows and can advise me smth from own experience, PLEASE DO! People and guys would always say that i am beautiful but I don't consider myself anymore, they don't know how i look now because of this pills, obviously.
