"i have been on this pill for 10 days, purposely did not take it yesterday and already feel better today.  i have had a headache every day on this pill, sensitivity to light, nausea, and heart palpitations. then the anxiety started setting in, and i felt detached from reality. i have a lot of stress in my life but have always been able to manage it.  i almost passed out while driving and went to the er and have had every test known to man and everything is normal.  yesterday i had a panic attack.  i have never had symptoms of anxiety or depression apart from normal stress and a bit of sadness after giving birth to my kids.  i know everyone&#039;s body reacts differently, but it took me several days to even consider this could be my birth control."
