I was on Alesse for about 10 months, which was great, I had no problems with it, but I wasn't having a period. I wanted to have one for reassurance, so my doctor switched me to Desogen. The Desogen was fine for about 10 months, then I started with breakthrough bleeding. So, the doctor is trying me on Femcon for a few months. The first month was okay, but I've noticed I've been more edgy. It's gotten worse and worse with the second month, and now I've been experiencing major anxiety. I'll just sit at my desk at work and my chest feels tight all day. Also, I was dieting and that has come to a complete halt and I've gained back 5 pounds. I think when I'm done with this pack I'm going back on the Desogen and will see what happens.
