"i&#039;ve been on junel fe for about a year now without any problems. my doctor recommended this brand for my extremely painful cramps i&#039;d get at the beginning of every cycle, which would often lead me to throw up from the pain. upon first starting it, i immediately noticed a positive change. my period lasts about 4 days now (as opposed to 7 days) with very light bleeding and hardly any cramps. also, even though i&#039;ve read bad reviews of this birth control due to anxiety and depression-related side effects, i&#039;ve never experienced any, and i&#039;ve been diagnosed with both (previous to being on this brand of birth control). junel fe is a great product."
