    This birth control worked for me even when I didn't take it perfectly and missed a few pills/took a few late. But I've never felt as depressed and anxious in my life. Before this pill I had experienced some depression before, but on this pill I cry every other day, have anxiety and panic attacks, and feel crazy. I took this pill for four months, the first week I had a slight depressive epi ... Show Full Comment

    I’ve never had panic attacks before getting this from the pharmacy. I have bad panic attacks, headaches, dizziness and sick. Im not taking any other medicine or pills just this birth control and I feel like I’m dying and it’s so scary. This is pure hell and I’ve been on birth control for 2 years but this is the worse. I’ve already called the pharmacy and asked them to find me something right away ... Show Full Comment
