No one can answer that because it just depends on how your body reacts to a pill. You are going to have to try pills until you find one that suits your body. If you truly do gain weight with this pills, and continue to, then I would switch. Your doctor would be the only one to tell you which pill to switch to. They have a book that lists the pills and the side effects of them. Under whatever side effect they look under, it says which pills to try instead. So, go the three months that it takes your body to get used to a pill and if you have problems still then go to your doc and see about switching.

Well, like I said, maybe after you are on it for three months and your body gets used to it, you may start to lose weight then. Good luck!

I switched to ortho lo from the regular ortho because they started giving me the generic brand and it wasn't working for me. And let me tell you I gained 10 lbs in a matter of a month, so I switched back to the regular one, I guess i'll have to deal with the generic brand!

I guess my body wasn't fit for the lo...I'm looking for a better brand now
