"i had a horrible experience on this pill. i was previously taking lo loestrin, which i loved, but i switched insurance and my new insurance refused to cover it. i was put on this pill instead. i immediately started having intense mood swings and would cry randomly for no reason. i also became very depressed to the point that i started calling in sick to work. i was also breaking out horribly all the time and had terrible nausea. then my periods stopped completely and i began to have abdominal pain. my doctor suspected it was the pill and offered to switch me to a new one. i decided to stop the pill and got an iud instead. much better. the only good thing i have to say about this pill is it definitely keeps you from getting pregnant."
