For Birth Control "I took this medication hoping it would stop my periods, as it claims. It's supposed to be a generic of Lybrel. I took it for 8 months, never stopped my period. In fact, I had spotting and bleeding every day. I also became emotional and moody."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Amethyst birth control pills since August of this year. I had spotting for a month now, no cramping, but I am a little moody from it. I heard it takes a while for your body to adjust to it. I haven’t had cramps or nausea, which I like about this. My period before used to make me so sick."

For Birth Control "I was in between doctors and was prescribed this. It was horrible. My breasts hurt so bad, and I have been cramping like I'll have a period, but I don't bleed. I was so anxious, moody, and sad for no reason. I switched to Sprintec with a 0.35 mg estrogen in hopes my body will calm down."
