"this pill is exactly as the commercial explains, specifically for pmdd and birth control.  after reading a lot of the other reviews, i had to chime in.  for those of us who are unfortunate enough to be a mess for 3 out of 4 weeks a month, this pill is a miracle.  insurance decided they weren&#039;t going to cover much of it (i ended up paying $20, then $40 per pack, per month) and then once i lost my insurance, i loved the effects so much and how i felt on it that i forked over $64 a month for a few months until it was just way too steep.  this pill is not for the casual &quot;i just don&#039;t need a baby right now&quot; birth control user!  it is for women with serious emotional and physical side effects related to pms!!!"
