"beware of this birth control!! i&#039;ve been on them for the past 3 months. they are effective as to preventing pregnancy, but the side effects were so not worth it. for the past 3 months i had absolutely no energy and no motivation. i fell into depression and actually went to a psychiatrist and was prescribed anti-depression/anti-anxiety meds!!! i had no idea that the birth control was causing all of these issues until i have done my research. i got off them immediately and already feel so much better. not to mention, i gained 15 pounds (that was probably a combination of hormones and the fact i didn&#039;t feel motivated to actually exercise). there are many other birth control options on the market that are so much better. pass on this one!!!"
