This is my first birth control pill and I'm 100% happy with it. No side effects except for regular, lighter periods.

I am glad to know I'm not alone! I've been taking this pill about 5 months now- experiencing 2 periods a month- extreme mood swings- deep depression and feeling bloated all the time! I finally know why since my Doctor switched my pill. I am going back to my original trusted pill ASAP.
