"i took this birth control pill for about three months. i have been fortunate to never experience intense sadness or depressive feelings since i was born, discounting family/friend deaths or illnesses. after starting the pill i noticed a change in my attitude and mindset. i used to wake up extremely happy and stay happy throughout the day, but the pill caused me to become sad. depression became a major factor of my everyday life on the pill and suicidal ideations soon followed during the third month. i felt crazy on the pill and i became really insecure. the only other side effect besides depression was breast tenderness. it was effective in preventing pregnancy and i did not get migraines or spotting."
