"i was prescribed this by my ob-gyn as a birth control method. first month was great! less heavy and painful period with only a little spotting.

now? not so much. i get 2 periods a month now, with severe cramping that lasts for days. i&#039;ve lost 10 pounds, but am always hungry. i have severe mood swings and increased anxiety. i am now lucky enough to have at least one panic attack a day. my acne has gotten worse, and i&#039;m tired all the time.

i&#039;ve talked to my doctor about it, but my concerns have been dismissed. if this doesn&#039;t stop by the end of next month, i will get a second opinion and a different birth control method."
