"i gave this a 6 star because it effectively kept me not pregnant, and i wasn&#039;t the best about taking it exactly on time every day. however, i had some bad side effects. from month 8 to around month 16 for the 2 years i was taking it, my sex drive slowly decreased until it was nonexistent. i was also quick to anger/upset, and would become this way over nothing. i was also always exhausted. i thought all of these things were just me, until i completely got off hormones and started using paragard. it was all caused by the pill, and i&#039;m so glad to be off of it."
