"ocella was the first contraceptive birth control i tried, and i thought i was going crazy because of its side effects. as a generally happy and healthy woman, i was so confused and lost as to why i&#039;d suddenly turned into someone that couldn&#039;t stand to get out of bed, i cried all the time. it could be the tiniest of things that would elicit tears, but it was constant. i shut almost everyone but my boyfriend at the time out, and was so depressed i didn&#039;t even know what to do. this lasted 6 months before my mom forced me to stop it, of which i am very thankful for. ocella made me a different person, sure, it did it&#039;s job in keeping me from getting pregnant, but the girl it made me into is not worth that protection.
