I read these reviews before going on it and I read everything about the way it can impact mood and emotions, but I figured that wouldn't happen to me. I never experienced side effects on my old BC. But through my first three weeks on Azurette, I cried almost every day. I told myself to just keep pushing on, that maybe it will get better with the next cycle. But then in week four, I started experie ... Show Full Comment

I'm only finishing up month two so I understand that it takes a few months for pills to regulate your hormones, however, after two months on two other pills years ago I never had the symptoms i'm experiencing.

I am not normally moody at all. I will definitely vis ... Show Full Comment

I've been taking Auzerette for almost 3 years now. Never had a pregnancy scare, the only downfall i've ever had is spotting into between periods. This has been the only one to actually help me not hurt me.

I'm on my third month of Azurette and I'm still suffering from the side effects. The major one I'm having a problem with is extreme mood swings. They have been so uncontrollable and they happen really frequently. This BC is easy to use and I haven't missed a pill, but my body and happiness has been suffering greatly from taking it. I'm changing BC's next week and I'm hoping for an improvement.
