"i began taking this form of birth control due to continuous high blood pressure.  i took it for roughly 3-4 years i&#039;d say and did not realize how bad it made me feel until i stopped taking it!  my blood pressure has been regular the last 1 1/2-2 years, so my doctor decided to switch me to ortho tri-cyc lo dose.  i&#039;ve been off camila for about a month now.  i noticed that within weeks of ceasing to use it, i had more energy, felt less bloated/lost a few pounds, and my moods have improved.  i also feel as if a weight has been lifted off of my body.  i was always so tired, i never wanted to go anywhere or do anything.  my energy level has improved so much over these last few weeks!  i am so glad i stopped taking this!  never again!!"
