"i have been on this birth control since i was 15 and i am 20 now. i began this bc because my periods were so bad. for about 2 or 3 years i would have regular monthly periods only about 2 days. the last year or so i do not bleed anymore but feel the symptoms of a period. i guess this is a good thing (no period) but i&#039;m in a serious relationship and sexually active and this keeps me on my toes. when i got put on this pill i gained 20 pounds. not really a complaint it was needed weight. however in the last year or so i have noticed a change in my behavior and sex drive. i&#039;m worried this bc has something to do with it. but overall it has worked for me. i have some anxiety and depression sometimes but what woman doesn&#039;t!! can&#039;t really blame it."
