"not to scare anyone but i had a terrible, scary experience on this birth control. prior to taking this pill, i had occasional anxiety but i&#039;ve never had depression in my life. about 2-3 months after taking the pill, i started experiencing increased anxiety &amp; panic attacks (depersonalization/derealization, heart racing, difficulty breathing).. then came constant crying spells and depression to the point where i would lay in my bed for days. my dr said the bc had no effect on what i was feeling but i knew deep down something was wrong so i stopped taking the birth control anyway just to see. its only been a month since stopping it and i feel 100% better.. no more crying, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. be careful while taking this!"
