birth control
"I have been using this pill for 5 months and during this time, I gained over 10 lbs, and my anxiety and paranoia has caused irreparable damage to my relationship. I must note I work out and have no changes in lifestyle that should've caused me to gain weight. I am constantly sad, on the verge of tears, I am oversensitive and negative. I am just not myself. I gave the pill more than the 3 month trial period because I don't want to keep switching hormones, but I cannot keep this up any longer. I am going to try the nuva ring. For the record, I was previously on Diane 35 very happily for 2 years with no side effects but my doctor took me off because it is apparently too high in hormones"
