"i went on this because my friend recommended it and because i like the convenience. while on it however, i experienced horrible anxiety and depression. i also had a weird headache and taste in my mouth all month. my appetite varied wildly; i would be so hungry and then not at all. my period, which usually lasts three days and is very light, lasted eight days and i had horrible cramps. during my period i also felt light-headed and out of it.
