"i started on this 2 months after asking my dr to prescribe bcp. i had the pills but was too nervous to take them bc being of caribbean descent i am not used to taking all kinds of chemical based medication i am so used to healthy diet and such but birth control is birth control i needed something. so i took junel fe and at first i thought it was great. i felt more calm than normal, more organized. more relaxed. that turned into outright fatigue and tiredness after the 3rd day on it i was sleeping all the time. then 5 days into it i developed a terrible yeast infection type rash on my inner thighs. that was the final straw. it was disgusting. i had an itchy rash and couldn&#039;t stay awake. i stopped after a week and a half. not for me."
