"i tried microgestin 1/20 for a month. i had originally had mirena (which i loved and had no issues whatsoever, but had it removed because my husband kept complaining incessantly about being poked by the strings). i noticed after a week of taking it i felt incredibly sad. i couldn&#039;t enjoy much of anything. this was a drastic change to how i was feeling just a week ago. as the pack wore on, it only got worse. my entire family noticed a drastic difference in my mood. i&#039;m definitely going to attribute it to this birth control because once i stopped taking it i was fine and back to my normal self. not sure why doctors don&#039;t warn you about these side effects. thanks, big pharma!"
