birth control
"As far as birth control and periods went,  this was fine.  My periods were much less crampy and painful,  my skin didn't change at all. However,  it was like my personality completely flipped. I felt robbed of my sense of adventure,  I had absolutely no interest in going and doing fun things with my family. I've never had depression, but I think this must be what it feels like. I stopped taking it and am almost back to my old self,  even though I'm back to having terrible periods.  I will take cramps over how I was acting any day of the week."
