"this birth control works and does its job, it&#039;s just the mood swings that have been terrible for me.  i cry all the time over nothing and i go from being happy to angry to depressed.  i feel it putting a strain on my relationship and i am considering going off it.  on the plus side, however, my period cramps are now nonexistent.  i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain or cravings (i&#039;ve always eaten a lot though so it&#039;s hard to tell!).  my acne actually got better, but only slightly and that could be due to other factors.  i just feel like the mood swings outweigh the benefits and i just want to feel better."
