Which Is Worse? I Can't Decide...? Posted: 06-05-05 21:10pm
My doctor just recently suggested I start
taking orthotrycyclen for my acne. I have
struggled with my skin for years and i'm
just sick to death of it. On the other
hand, i'm also very self conscious weight
and work hard to stay in shape. I've
heard that you gain weight on this pill
and I don't know if i'm willing to make
that sacrifice. What causes you to gain
the weight while taking this pill???

Hormones in the pill is what makes you
gain weight. I take the same pill and I
have barely gained any weight, I still
stay very active and I have hardly noticed
the weight. As long as you stay active
you will be fine. Dont worry..It really
helps with acne also

I am on orthotrycylen lo and I have not
gained any weight at all. I have been on
it for a little over a month now. Maybe
its too soon to tell, but my weight has
stayed the same.
Does anyone know if the lo brand helps
with acne too?

face has cleared up 100% but I have not
gained any weight.
