God! Get off the Cleocin T! If you read the labels, it makes your face more oily! I was using about a pack of those oil sheets a day! I went on Ortho-Tri and it worked wonders, but as soon as I went off of it (I became single so I figured I didn't need it...) my face broke out. I went back on it, only to gain about 15 lbs over the course of a year (and I'm a runner) gaining weight mostly in my face and my hips. I am now on Alesse (which is low dose) but I just found out that it has male horomones in it that make it more androgenic=more oily and broken out skin. So, that said, I'm switching to Yasmin tomorrow. Low androgencity. Also has a diuretic in it so you don't gain weight (I've heard that people have lost weight on it) and it's the number one prescribed pill now (even over Ortho-Tri) for acne. I hope it works! Maybe you should give it a try...
