"My doctor put me on this medication to try and control my mood swings. I started taking this birth control for one week and I felt extremely irritable on day five. I felt like I gained five lbs., but didn&#039;t actually weigh myself, and I was working out more. I got a migraine headache, which I&#039;ve never had in my life. I stopped taking this birth control after day seven. It is not worth it to me. There are too many side effects from this medication."
