"i took this for a little over a year before stopping it. i was on minastrin (insurance stopped covering). got switched to gildess &amp; was fine until they discontinued it. then came this horrible monster. the pharmacy ensured me it was the same thing, but i didn&#039;t feel this awful on the other 2. for months i wondered why my mood was so awful. i would snap at everything &amp; i would cry for no reason. i started feeling horribly depressed. the one way this pill prevented me from getting pregnant was by completely killing my libido. i started taking it to get my hormonal acne under control, but i think i&#039;d rather deal with the acne than these side effects."
