"i was taking this as a contraceptive and to prevent ovarian cysts, which i am prone to. this pill worked great for those two things and i had no problems with this bcp for the first year of taking it. however, after around a year and half on it i developed extreme anxiety, panic attacks, severe moodiness and change of temperament, as well as nausea every single day. i am about to go off of it, hopefully i can find a bcp without these side affects."
