birth control
"The good thing about this pill was that it basically reduced my period to a once-a-month light period that lasted a day and I didn't experience any cramping for the 10 months that I was on it. This was great because I have heavy, painful, irregular periods, and it was nice to not have to call in to work while on my period. 
I had to stop taking the pill because it was affecting my moods severely. I felt like I was always panicking about something, like my mind was constantly on overdrive and obsessing about any little issue that came up. I had to fight feeling sad and hopeless on a daily basis, and this was odd because it the events happening in my life were very good. I've been off the the for a about a month and I feel much better."
