    EXTREME EXTREME EXTREME NAUSEA like nothing I have ever experienced before. Have not even finished the first week of this birth control medicine and daily I get waves of nausea that have me nearly vomiting on those around me. Also loss of sex drive, depression, and sleepiness. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
