"i started taking marlissa about 5 months ago and when i first started taking it it took about a month for me to adjust. i had mood swings, worsened anxiety and depression, and i was tired all the time. the pros of this pill were decreased acne and my boobs got bigger! my period is also now 3 days instead of 7 and i have basically no cramps. the reason i started taking the pill was because of my extremely painful cramps and it did its job of taking them away which i am grateful for. i have recently realized i have been getting panic attacks a week before my period and i am not sure if it is because of the birth control or just me."
