Hi Robin,

I'm also taking the same pill and experiencing the same thing...it's maddening! I had my first appointment with a RE on Friday. He all but laughed when I told him my condition is worse with Orthotricyclen (prescribed by gyno) and said "well, oh that's the pill to help acne". I am breaking out more than I ever did as a teenager, and I'm 33 and the excessive hair growth is killing me too. He did offer to change me to another pill for my next cycle..think it's Orthocept. I am also experiencing severe bleeding that starts after about the 7-8th day into the new pack. It's like I'm having a period every 2 weeks. I have the same questions as you do...and feel for you completely because I share your agony. Take care, Kimberly.
