"i switched to this birth control after being on larin fe, which made me feel completely crazy. i have been on this pill for 6 months and i did really like it. i used to have extremely heavy periods with horrendous cramps and since going on this my periods are much lighter, shorter &amp; typically no cramps at all. the only negative is that i have breast tenderness pretty much the entire month. it only ever stops during placebo week. lately though i have felt extremely anxious &amp; i hope this pill won&#039;t turn out like larin fe where i felt so crazy and anxious 24/7!! i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant on it either so that is a major plus."
