"i have been on this birth control for years. originally i started on it for my heavy periods to make them more normal and it did its job, never got pregnant. i thought all was good. up until about 2 almost 3 weeks ago i&#039;ve been off it and i have to say i feel like a whole new person, a happy person that&#039;s not sensitive to everything or an emotional wreck and depressed that i&#039;ve felt for years. i caution this is a good birth control but it does mess with you&#039;re emotions and way of thinking for the worst."
