Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

Long answer: Of course, my doctor pointed out that I've got a history of weight problems - and I do - so he's hesitant to let me blame the pill. But I'm definitely gaining weight differently than I used to (it's all around my middle), and it's making me more depressed than my weight has EVER made me, which is why he's switching me off of it and onto the patch... which I used before and really like, it's low-hormone.

I was on the patch from August till February, and my weight had evened out from when I was so sick over the summer. I switched to the pill in February, and since then, I've shot up from 120 to 145. I don't think it's the pill itself, but it seems to give me uncontrollable munchies. I literally never feel full anymore!
