Thanks all of you for adding your experiences.
I dont have much new to add, but I do want to tell you the effects I have been feeling. I am usually a very together person. I used to sleep 7 hours a night getting up with no problems at 6am to start my day with a workout. Now, i can barely get out of bed by 7:30am, no matter how early I sleep. I am just exhausted. I am usually a very good multitasker, but I am now distracted and forgetful. Some other symptoms are:
- dry mouth
- panic attacks
-crying ( and I am a pretty tough person, I was shocked to cry over a missed telephone call)
- anxiety
- insomnia
-weight gain
-diarreah
-spotting in second and third weeks
-dry facial skin
- breakouts on face and body
-breast tenderness and swelling in second week
-hands swelling during the night when I sleep
- i cant get through a night without getting up to go to the bathroom at least twice.
-distracted
I am going off this pill. This is the first I have ever taken and the experience has been horrible.
I have not decided on a new on yet, or if I trust any of them not to affect me the same way.
