"i first started with reclipsen a year ago for 2-3 months and experienced extreme mood swings. very emotional and sensitive to everything/anything. i&#039;m not an emotional person. i also did get frequent headaches. i decided to switch to a generic (similar to reclipsen) which alleviated all side effects. i started taking reclipsen again this month after my annual check up (my doctor refilled for name brand) i&#039;m on week 2 and i&#039;m having the same side effects. i had a major melt down which made me question what is really going on? i realized it must be the birth control. i&#039;m going back to generic asap. i had no weight gain, cramping nor acne issues while taking reclipsen only mood swings and headaches."
