"i took this for a year and one month and unfortunatly i&#039;m switching to a generic brand since it&#039;s becoming very expensive even though i have insurance. it started off at $34 last february but now (as of this march) it&#039;s $44. the first few months were terrible. i was extremely moody and i felt like i was becoming depressed. every week i was crying and somedays i had migraines and felt nauseous. i stuck it out and after those first few months my mood went back to normal. i didn&#039;t gain any weight and my sex drive remained the same. i rarely get cramps now &amp; my period is pretty much non existent which i was nervous about at first but now i&#039;m ok with it. i really wish i could continue with taking this brand but i&#039;d rather get free birth control."
