"i wanted to get on birth control for lighter periods and hopefully alleviate some of the other pms symptoms i get pretty intensely. i&#039;ve only been on it a month but this pill has been awful for me. i&#039;ve had the worst anxiety and mood swings. i&#039;ve been nauseous, unusually tired, had upset stomach, and/or had a headache several times a week, not to mention i&#039;ve had light to moderate bleeding every day since i started. i&#039;m 2 days into the white pills and now it seems i&#039;ve started my period with the usual symptoms. my goal was to give this 2-3 months as i know it takes time for your body to adjust, but it isn&#039;t worth it for me."
