"my doctor switched me from yaz to alesse to help with the weight gain that yaz gave me (20 pounds in 1 year) and i hate this birth control. 

from the first month of using it i was an angry beast, it was way to much. second month i noticed that i lost a little bit of the weight but i noticed i would start crying for no reason often and become depressed. my doctor told me to stick it out for 3 months. third month i am still an angry beast as well as extremely irritable for extended period&#039;s of time.  

mind you that yaz also caused some of these symptoms as well but on alesse it was tripled."
