Alright, first. I'm under the impression that Ocella is the bad kind of generic for a drug that should not have had the option to be generic. I had been on Yasmin and was happy with the results. I never once blacked out because of a period until I was switched to Ocella because a lack of drug coverage. Since I was starting to go through all of the symptoms above, I chose to take myself off of the pills (that, and the fact that I couldn't visit an OB/GYN because of the ins. issue). Since then, I haven't had a period (did, however have ALL the symptoms of getting one like I did on Yasmin). My only beef is that my body seems to have gotten addicted to the old dose of estrogen that was in Yasmin, and a lack of that amount has made me VERY hard to live with. My poor fiance!!!
