"ok, so i was taking norethindrone because i was breastfeeding my son, when i decided to stop breastfeeding my dr prescribed microgestin 120. at first it was ok, my headaches improved and it helped decrease my milk supply faster. but once i got on the second pack i started having frequent headaches and migraines. my periods have gotten lighter, a plus, considering i&#039;m a bleeder. (tmi sorry), and i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant. but i get bloated almost every day and i literally have no energy. i could sleep all day and still wake up like i haven&#039;t slept in a week. i am not prone to depression at all, yet since i&#039;ve started this i get depressed for long stretches of time, and i get extremely irritable. i&#039;m getting a iud later this week because of the effects."
