"when i first began birth control years ago, they put me on one that made me so moody, depressed, killed my libido and changed my personality, it felt. i went back to my doctor and tried several different pills and eventually i tried alesse since it was low dose and i didn&#039;t have any negative side effects! i was always regular, but have always had bad cramps. this cut them back and made my periods short. i didn&#039;t get any unusual acne, or weight gain. if anything i lost weight. and it not only increased my libido, it made my o very strong and last longer. i don&#039;t know if anyone else has experienced this. but i just loved it! i got off it after my divorce, but i will never use any other pill again. i&#039;ve tried too many and this one is for me."
