"i hate this pill. the first three months went by smoothly. suddenly my face began breaking out and leaving horrible dark marks. after that my mood began to change. i&#039;m now 5 months into these pills and i feel like a completely different person. i can&#039;t sleep at night if i take these pills, but i sleep perfectly if i skip a dose. i cry or get upset over small things, which is very unlike me. i don&#039;t feel like doing anything anymore. it&#039;s a chore to get out of bed. i&#039;m gaining weight like crazy even though my appetite hasn&#039;t changed. i was a very happy and energetic person before taking these pills. i don&#039;t recognize myself. i plan to either switching brands or getting off of birth control completely. i need to find my happiness/sanity again."
