"the birth control kept me from getting pregnant so on that subject it worked great.  but, i had 3 severe side effects that really affected my quality of life.  i was exhausted all of the time, no energy ever (after i stopped taking it within 1 week i had energy again). i had intense headaches everyday within an hour of taking this medicine, and i was very emotional.  one moment nice next moment sad, then mean. it has been a month since i took this birth control and i fell like me again!!"
