"i have been using apri for 5 months, and having had any weight gain and no decrease in sex drive.  i have, however, experienced harsh emotional side-effects.  during the week of my period - as soon as i hit the 22 day - i am just ridiculously emotional.  i am irrational and will cry at the drop of a hat.  i&#039;m worried about this having put me into a state of depression and am going to speak with my doctor soon about it.  this puts my boyfriend in a bad position because he never knows what to do and feels bad but gets frustrated with my being so irrational.  i&#039;d be cautious taking it if you have ever had any experience with depression, cutting, etc."
