"i had tried 3 or 4 other types of birth control and felt like a crazy person on them. this is the only one i could stand to take that didn&#039;t cause horrible mood swings and anxiousness. my periods are regular - almost nonexistent, actually. i haven&#039;t noticed any side effects, to be honest, and am very satisfied with junel. i have been on it for about 6-7 years now."
