It has taken me a few months to realize that my constant gassy feeling is being caused by this drug. When I switched pharmacys my drug was switched too. There are nights I am doubled over in pain because of the gas pains, or running to bathroom with loose stool. I plan to switch back to the old drug on my next refill.

For those who sometimes forget to take their pill, I suggest an app called my pill. It reminds you to take your pill the same time everyday.

This birth control has made me irrationally angry with uncontrollable rage for no reason at all. It has also cause severe headaches that have yet to go away even though I have stopped taking the birth control.
