"i started taking this in april of 2011 and it is now march 2012. this is also the first birth control i have ever taken. i honestly can say that this pill has made me a different person as in very moody, especially during the third row of pills (the blue ones). my husband even says &quot;it must be blue pill week!&quot; since this is the week i tend to be extremely moody. i used to be really nice and laugh at just about anything but now while on this pill i just feel super anxious and i even think this raises my blood pressure. the only good thing about this pill is that it has helped me with my cystic acne. before i started taking this pill, i would get really bad cystic pimples on my jawline but i haven&#039;t had any since being on this pill."
