"has been effective at preventing pregnancy. i&#039;ve decided to stop taking it due to side effects. the first 2 months my breasts were extremely tender. i experienced some depression symptoms and mood problems in the first month, which i initially thought went away, but i think i just got used to them. looking back, i&#039;ve been way more emotional at times (cry at least 2-3 times a week now, used to cry 2-3 times a year) and also fairly flat (don&#039;t really get excited about anything anymore). my sex drive has been almost non-existent while on reclipsen. i used to be keen like all the time and now even extensive foreplay can&#039;t really get me going, which makes it pretty pointless to even be on it. periods are short and light, which i will miss."
