>>��>>��I have been taking ortho tri-cyclen for about two weeks now, and since i've been taking it, my face has broken out worse than ever before. I know that ortho tri-cyclen is supposed to clear up moderate acne, so hopefully this is only temporary. Has this happened to anyone else?

>>��Does anyone know how long it would take to clear up skin after you first start taking it? I've heard that it is normal for my face to break out the first couple of days cause it's pushing out all teh impurities. Is that true? I'm breaking out on my cheeks.

I have been taking OTC for the past week and have also noticed terrible breakouts on my cheeks and chin. Supposedly this is normal, and the best effects of the pill take about 2 months to kick in. I also read that it's normal to feel tired and/or depressed, so don't think that you are alone! There are more people than you think who battle with acne and feel its horrible psychological effects. Give it time - if it dosen't work, you can always stop using it and your skin will return to normal. Good luck! =)
