MELANIE:

My skin has had problems off and on over the years (moreso SINCE leaving the teen years than during!) so I started "OTC" a couple of months before I was to be the matron of honor in my cousin's wedding. I have noticed the same sequence you did (flare-ups on the white pills, settling with the inactive pills). I also wanted to let you know that I, too, have experienced leg cramps lately. I am switching back to my previous pill when I finish this cycle.

>>��>>��I started taking Ortho about 3 years ago when my dermatologist put me on Accutane; at the time it was still relatively new. Since I've always had problems with my skin I wondered if the Accutane didn't work for me, but I think it's actually the Ortho. I notice when I take the active white pills I break out, but as I get closer to the inactive pills (and closer to my period) my face is fine. I thought since this contraceptive is advertised as being a skin saver then it can't actually be the cause of my breakouts, but I'm reconsidering that notion. I've also started to get leg cramps recently, even though I'm very active. Has this happened to anyone?

>>��>>�� My face hsnt gotten any better iether. I was told that it would make my face better. Its some what worse than it was. Ive been taking it for 5mths now and it hasnt goten any better. I dont want to stop using becuase it prevents pregnancy and controlls menstral cycle very well
