Junel Fe 24 birth control pill vs Volnea birth control pill

Effected mental health and my body

I will preface this review by saying I haven’t hit the full “3 month waiting period” for Junel yet, but so far I hate it. I’m so moody and angry all the time. I feel depressed and low. I have never felt these feelings before and the only thing in my life that has changed? My birth control. I’ve heard terrible things about the pill and I would not recommend Junel to anyone. Also I’m covered in hives and I swear they are from starting this birth control. The only thing I’m my life that has changed: birth control, but the doctor’s don’t believe me.

I have been on birth control for a year and a half now. The pharmacy switched what brand they gave me, and even though it had the “same ingredients” it’s like you’re starting a whole new pill so your body has to adjust all over again. Im on month 6 of taking this one and Im consistently having break through bleeding the week before my placebo pill week, so im bleeding for two weeks every month. Im about to go off of it the beginning of September anyway, so i’m just pushing through, but if I have to take one in the future i will 100% be asking for a different pill. Ive had no other side effect except that which is great but the bleeding extra and the dull cramps that stick around those two weeks are annoying.
