birth control
"I was on this birth control for almost 10 years...it was very effective at preventing pregnancy, even though I missed it a few times and there weren't any crazy noticeable side effects like weight gain, nausea, headaches, etc.  I think because I was on it for so long, I didn't realize the side effects until I went off of it...once I stopped, I felt like a completely different and better person...my sex drive went through the roof and I realized how much it had suppressed my sex drive this whole time.  I also found a huge sense of peace and was able to let go of things much easier  I felt like a cloud of depression was lifted. When I tried to go back on it, it made me really irritable and I had to stop.  "
