Did its job in preventing pregnancy but had to stop due to debilitating mental side effects, nausea, & markedly decreased sex drive. Felt extremely moody & anxious, random crying spells for no reason. Frequently would wake up in the middle of the night feeling I was going to vomit, very hot & sweaty so didn't sleep well while on it. Only took it on full stomach to try to reduce the nausea but it didn't always matter. Not pleasant at all.

Was great in terms of taking the pill back to back - no periods. But I ended up developing migraines and my doctor switched me to the mini pill because of that. Since switching from the COC to mini pill, my sex drive has come back.

A good pill if you want to run your packs back to back. Never had any random bleeding. This pill did give me increased anxiety and low moods. I was on it for a year previously and stopped it. When I look back it’s crazy to see the difference in my moods. I went back on it for a second time and again I feel extremely anxious and snappy/emotional. I have just switched pills, the dr recommended cilique... so we shall see if this improves things.
