"i&#039;ve been taken chateal for 7 months now. it&#039;s been effective the whole time i&#039;ve been on it but it&#039;s been a horrible experience overall. it did not help with my period in any way. my periods are still the same length, they&#039;re heavier and my cramps are worse. acne never played a part in this as a side effect since i&#039;ve never had a problem with acne. taking chateal literally made me feel insane. i have never in my life felt so sad and angry and depressed for no reason. i used to only cry getting close to my period and now i cry all the time the whole month about anything. i constantly felt depressed without a way out because i couldn&#039;t figure out why i felt this way. no one should have to feel this way."
