I've only been on this for a week, and I have hypothyroidism. But just in this week, I have had the worst mood swings of my life. To give you an idea: I broke my closet door from kicking it, I flat-out screamed at my fiance to shut up, everyone has told me I haven't been myself, and after my fiance walked out (after I screamed at him, I said I wanted to die. I've never been a suicidal person. My G ... Show Full Comment

I've never been a suicidal person. My GP had no idea what to do because the pill is so new, so she said to call my OBGYN. I think it may be the combo of mood swing side effects mixed with the side effect of interfering with thyroid hormones (for those with hypothyroidism). I'll finish my two free packs, but if this continues, I'm quitting it. I'd rather change BC than have my fiance break off our engagement because of these mood swings.

Im on my second week and am trying to keep taking it to see if it will even out. Since Ive started taking my pills I have had a slight headaches, drastic mood swings (normally Im pretty level headed), and have lost all my desire for sex. I guess that makes it effective but not great feeling wanting to cry all the time.

Started this pill after a bad experience with the shot. OH MAN, what a difference! I couldn't be happier. Lighter, less crampy periods, clearer skin, no more weight gain or mood swings. The $25 discount card is great, although I worry what will happen when it expires. Don't much fancy paying triple that price. Anyone know if they let you renew that thing?

This is my first birth control I have ever taken. I used to have horribly heavy periods with extreme cramps that would never come on time. I have been taking the pill for a month and a half and just got my first period on it. My period is way lighter and the cramps are way more managable than before. Also, my period came closer to the normal cycle than it has before. I gained a couple pounds but m ... Show Full Comment

This is my first birth control I have ever taken. I used to have horribly heavy periods with extreme cramps that would never come on time. I have been taking the pill for a month and a half and just got my first period on it. My period is way lighter and the cramps are way more managable than before. Also, my period came closer to the normal cycle than it has before. I gained a couple pounds but my breasts have also gotten bigger which I think is good. I get a slight headache after taking the pill each day but it is not enough to bother me. My face is normally extremely clear and I haven't noticed a big change in my acne except that I used to have bad back and shoulder acne and that has cleared up since taking this.
