"i&#039;ve been on this pill for about 5 years and i&#039;m writing this while mournfully staring at the end of my last pack - my insurance changed and it&#039;s no longer covered. even in the beginning my symptoms were mild besides the usual spotting. my periods went from week-long, horribly heavy and painful, to barely noticeable, extremely light and only 2 days long. i&#039;ve always had some mild anxiety/depression issues on and off so i can&#039;t say there was any change one way or the other there. i do suspect it fixed my sleep schedule though - i have always struggled severely with insomnia and around the time i went on this pill, i started having a normal human sleep schedule. i can&#039;t think of any other explanation - but i guess i&#039;ll find out for sure now."
