"this pill has been a painful experience. it is definitely effective because i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant or anything. at first it was nice because my periods were lighter, and my cramps weren&#039;t too bad. but about 2 months into taking it i realized i was always really emotional the day before my period which i just chalked up to pms. but then i found myself crying all the time over seemingly nothing and it wasn&#039;t just simple tears i was always close to having anxiety attacks. so far there ain&#039;t been a day or two that&#039;s passed where i wasn&#039;t crying over something. physically, i didn&#039;t have any side effects but emotionally it really tore me up. i was depressed and felt empty. switching off this pill asap"
