"i went on this pill when i got into my first serious relationship.  i&#039;ve tried other birth control pills before and had to go off of them because of weight gain. when i finally got back on the pills, i thought it was great because my periods were always regular, i had no weight gain, and my skin was flawless.  but, after being on it for 6 months now i&#039;m realizing that this pill is the reason for my poor mental health.  i went from being happy and satisfied with my life, to being an actual crazy person.  i started lashing out at the people i loved as the months progressed. i would have the worst mood swings of my life.  i would be happy and laughing, and the next minute i was in tears.  it turned me into an angry person that i didn&#039;t know."
