I just did a search to see if other people were having the same side effects as me, and I feel better now that I am not the only one. I am extremely irritable and have recently found myself withdrawn and not wanting to be around anyone. I sort of feel like this pill is making me depressed. I am going to ask my doctor for a different BC. Thanks.
I know EXACTLY how you feel. But I'm on my 4th week and the spotting has FINALLY started to dissipate. My sexual drive has come back- yay! But I don't feel secure about there not being any bleeding yet- boo! I'm trying to stick it till the end of this pack. If I'm still cramping and have a "period" by Monday, I'm quitting.
Don't know if that helps you at all...
Oh yeah- and the mood swings- I promise, its not just you. Half the time, I'm so down that I just don't want to get up. I feel sad and insecure and sometimes so angry! I've snapped at my poor boyfriend like 100 times! And that's not like me. But I'm starting to feel like that's going away too...
