"i&#039;ve been on apri for about six months now and it&#039;s been a rollercoaster. this is the first birth control that i have experience with, so i decided to give it 5 stars because it&#039;s done some good for me and some not so good. i have had bad acne for the past 10+ years, so when i first started taking apri and the acne subsided i was thrilled. i like having regular, track-able periods, but i suppose you&#039;d have that with any birth control. the downside is the absolutely awful mood swings, and i mean awful. i&#039;m typically a very happy, joke-y person, but while on this medication i&#039;ve noticed that i can get into funks of terrible irritability and sadness for no reason. i will be discussing different options with my doctor next time i see her."
