"i started taking norethindrone (mini pill) and within two days i felt emotionally awkward.  this emotional roller coaster did not come on gently either; it came rolling in and took over my mind, my thoughts, my reactions.  i became angry easily, and without a moments notice my emotions changed like the wind.  there was sadness, crying, depression, emptiness, anger and frustration.  these emotional spells were only 20 mins apart at the most! i was yelling at my children constantly until i realized it was the mini pill that was my problem.  this is a horrible drug  for me and women should know the truth.  after i stopped the pill, my emotional state became stable again.   wouldn&#039;t recommend this to anyone."
