"i&#039;ve used about 3 different brands of birth control and this one is by far the worst. i do not recommend. i took a break from pills for a couple months and when i started back up, i started using lutera. i&#039;ve been using it for 4-5 months and i feel horrible. i can say that it does a great job at protecting from birth and my periods haven&#039;t been a problem at all, but i feel horrible. i don&#039;t feel like myself at all. i feel disconnected/groggy almost all the time. my libido is completely gone now. mood swings. i&#039;ve been so unlike myself for the past few months so i&#039;ve decided to stop taking them."
