"i have been on this birth control since about october. i have gained about 30 pounds, i have extreme mood swings, my weight gain has made me depressed, and my sex drive is at an all time low. i spot all the time and i do mean all the time. the birth control kept me from getting pregnant but that isn&#039;t even worth it anymore. im calling my doctor today to get it removed, though i am unsure of what form of birth control to get on now."
