"i started taking xulane when my insurance stopped covering ortho evra. the first month was fine, no side effects, irritation or pregnancy scares or anything but then the second month i started experiencing nausea, cramps, my period was late and then i had the absolute worst depression and even started losing touch with reality. i thought i was going crazy but since i stopped it, i&#039;ve felt completely fine. did prevent me from getting pregnant but the mood swings were not worth it anymore, will have to move onto the pill."
