"i have tried all other formulations of birth control pills without success. the only way i can describe it is that i feel clinically insane when taking birth control pills, and this was the last option to try. i should note the reason i went on it is because my body stopped having periods, i went over a year without any periods (i wasn&#039;t pregnant, and was 23 yrs old). so i went ahead and tried it. i was not as crazy on this, and it cleared up my skin completely. after about 4 months though i completely lost my sex drive. like from 100 to -100. after my periods regulated out i quit taking it. now 8 months later i am back to not having a period and just started taking it again the other day. this time around i am feeling kind of sick."
