"it is only my fifth day on this medication, and i have only had a tiny bit of nausea. no headaches or anything like that. but i have a long list of mental health problems,  and i dont know if i am just having an episode, or if this medication is causing the depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts to be so strong. i am stuck. prior to this medication i was taking seasonal, and it was my favorite birth control. you only got your period every three months (which i would even skip sometimes), but i ended up constantly having break through bleeding after being on it for over a year. i&#039;ve tried others. but now i&#039;m trying alesse. and so far its not going well even the slightest bit. i cant handle the intensity of this emotional breakdown lol."
