I gained like 60lbs. since I started taking the pill. I was wandering if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks for your time.

We've heard about weight gain like that from women who have used Depo Provera, but not typically from women who are using birth control pills.

Even though I gained LOTS of weight on psychiatric meds (so am probably prone to that), the pill didn't make me gain any weight.
