But the thing is on the Orsythia, my periods are MUCH lighter and obviously I prefer that. My face isn't AS bad as it was but it's still broken out. So now I don't know what to do. I read somewhere that birth control takes about 3 months to get into your system enough to start helping with things like acne, and I'm finishing up my second pack this week. I have one more pack of the Orsythia and the doctor called in the new prescription yesterday so I should be able to pick it up now. But now I don't know if I should try the one I'm on for another month, or go ahead and start the new pack. UGH.
