"i have been on this birth control for about a month and while i&#039;m aware that it&#039;s not long enough for the pill to really set in, i&#039;ve suffered major side effects that are important to know about. this pill is causing me to have a second period this month, and i&#039;m anemic, so it&#039;s making me feel extremely fatigued. it&#039;s also spiked very very severe depression and a loss of appetite."
