"i have been on reclipsen (desogen) , the first birth control i&#039;ve been on. and i have to say i love it. i always have clear, soft skin, love my periods for being on time, i knew what hour it would come, and when it ends, it was perfect. so i have been on reclipsen for 1 year and 6 months and i started realizing crazy mood swings during the placebo pills (the pms week) and my mood would be irritable then happy, it was bipolar, i also realized a lot of hair loss (but then again i really have thick hair), i also realized shortness of breath super easily. i already talked to my doctor about switching. my doctor switched me to seasonale, i&#039;m kind of nervous switching."
