"i was on this bc for 8 years and it wasn&#039;t until i got off of it that i realized how horrible it was for me. i had terrible mood swings, anxiety and depression. i felt psycho. i experienced hair loss. extreme bloating and frequent constipation. i was diagnosed with ibs while on this bc. i was constantly tired. the only positives for me is i never got pregnant while on it and my periods only lasted for about 2 days. everyone is different, but watch yourself closely while on this bc. i was miserable because of it and i didn&#039;t even know it."
