"this medication (or birth control) was so awful for me i couldn&#039;t wait to get it out of my body. i endured a full year of it. ironically, it made me so crazy i wouldn&#039;t have needed birth control to begin with if i was under normal circumstances. most reviews i have read from other people are positive, but i don&#039;t see many of the negative accounts like i have heard from other women who have taken it. beware your mental health  and don&#039;t think &quot;it&#039;s just you&quot; if you have side effects like severe mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. this medication is/was a nightmare."
