"i have only been on it for little over a month. it&#039;s the first birth control i&#039;ve been on so i was new to side effects. i finally realized my mood swings are huge. i find myself very emotional and depressed and minutes later i&#039;m beyond happy. i do get headaches quite a bit but it can be from something totally different. i feel like i&#039;ve gained a little bit of weight but i can&#039;t blame anything but myself. i don&#039;t think it&#039;s a horrible pill just affects me badly."
