I was on this pill for 11 years (from 15 to 26). Overall it was a good pill, and I had no major problems with it, other than realising that it impacted my sex drive and vaginal dryness. I would also say it made me feel low at times too. Because I was on it for so long I wanted to come off it to see what the real me was like and I definitely feel perkier and more energetic and have better sex drive.
