Microgestin 1/20 side effects

I had a horrible time with this pill. I was only on it for two months and was only taking it because it was the generic of Loestrin and I couldn't afford to pay for Loestrin 24 every month. But my mood swings were out of control. I flipped out on my boyfriend every two seconds. He was always like "what the hell is wrong with you?" I had never been that crazy before, and I knew that it had to be the birth control. I also had severe cramping, and my main reason for being on the pill was so that I wouldn't have cramps because they were so bad they would keep me in bed all day, home from work. And I had absolutely NO sex drive. I didn't even want my boyfriend to look at me let alone touch me. I think in those 2 months we only had sex like twice. I switched back to Loestrin 24 and I'm dealing with paying for it, but at least I don't have crazy mood swings, cramping, and no sex drive!

I have been on Microgestin for 6 years now. I had slight anxiety before I started taking it, now my panic attacks are out of control, I have no sex drive, and I am completely exhausted all of the time. I am only 24! While speaking to another woman at work, she informed me that once she stopped the Microgestin her panic attacks almost diminished completely. Do to my family history, I know that I am prone to have anxiety, but I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia a year ago,I have to drag myself out of bed, and try to work through my panic. I am stopping the pill. It is good to clean your body out for 3 months after being on any birth control pill for that long anyways. Wish me luck!

i haven't had really bad side effects but my moods have changed. I'm constantly crying and depressed all the time.
