"i&#039;ve been taking this birth control for about 6 weeks now. my doctor prescribed this to me because i was having horrible migraines with one i was taking before. i haven&#039;t had my period yet, but have been spotting randomly since i started the pills. i used to have regular periods, so i&#039;m not sure if i&#039;m going to get them at all anymore. not having the intense cramping every month like i used to is nice though. i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain, or hair loss. side effects that i have noticed are emotional. i have been experiencing severe mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, and depression. i know that i&#039;m not pregnant, but this birth control makes me feel as though i am. not sure if i&#039;ll continue taking it, for side effects may not be worth it."
