It was fine, but not the best. I noticed feeling increasingly agitated often and it made my cramps a lot worse when I had a pill period. Overall wasn't a bad med, but not my favorite. Main symptom that made me get off it was really bad hot flashes everyday.
Somewhat negative mood

I’m on this pill to help with my migraines. While I don’t feel the pill prevents migraines caused by my chronic vascular and cervicalgenic migraines, it controls my hormonal shifting during the month to prevent hormone-caused migraines.
