"i have been taking birth control for almost 2 years now and i have been changing my prescription very often. however, i have been on this pill since around august/september of 2016. my old pills helped with bloating, cramps, and flow and none of that changed when i started junel fe. however for the past three months or so, i have had horrible mood swings, been feeling really depressed, i argue with my boyfriend and minutes later i don&#039;t even know what i got mad at (which is not like me at all.)  i talked to a friend and she said this pill also made her feel crazy. my cramps are only bad the first day which is usually the second/third day that i take my placebo pills. i will be switching prescriptions within the next few weeks."
