"i had been on ortho-cyclen for 5 years and had no problems with mood swings. i switched to lutera after i had my daughter because for some reason my periods were becoming irregular. since i have been taking lutera i have been an emotional wreck. i can&#039;t deal with normal life situations. i can&#039;t make a simple decision like what i&#039;m going to have for dinner because i break down crying from the pressure. my poor fiance has been having to deal with it all. i am switching to another pill."
