"i was on this pill for about 7 or 8 months and i did not have a good experience at all. this was my first time on birth control so i wasn&#039;t really sure what to expect. the first few months were fine, i noticed i was a little high strung but thought it was due to other things going on. once life had mellowed out a bit, i was still having these terrible mood swings. i only had high highs or low lows, with no in between. i&#039;d snap at my husband constantly and i was extremely depressed. i had frequent headaches and i gained 15 pounds when i had never had any major weight changes before that. i stopped the pill about two months ago and have noticed my mood swings have stopped and i feel much better. only plus was that i didn&#039;t get pregnant."
