"i started lutera mainly for birth control purposes. i have been on it  for about 4 months and i hate it. at first, i noticed i was acting slightly different, even my best friend mentioned it, but i thought it was just my body getting used to the pill and i would go back to normal soon. since then, i feel as if i am not the same person anymore. i have become increasingly moody, emotional, snappy, needy, dependent, grumpy, and have no patience. i have begun to push my friends away and broken up with my boyfriend. i feel like i cannot enjoy small situations or even a little bit of stress. i made an appointment and plan to talk to my doctor tomorrow about getting an alternate pill or coming off of it altogether."
