"i am 28 years old.  i have never felt any side effects from any birth control i have ever taken.  my doctor, however, switched me to this one because of the price i assume. since i began taking it a month ago, i have been extremely emotional, crying when i&#039;m happy, crying when i am sad.  my mood swings are having an affect on my relationship, my kids and husband, as i am less patient and more tired. my face is also breaking out, which normally only happens when i am pmsing the week before my period.  i called my doctor today to switch me off of this. i am only stating my experience, to reassure others if having the same side effects that it is not you coming down with depression. it is only the pill.
