Since it is generic it doesn't cost a lot of money, and worked until her medical condition changed and she had to readjust it.

All my life people described me as being laid-back and happy. But my first year of college I became sad and impatient and moody. Everyone thought I was homesick or having a hard time adjusting to school. When I went to the university clinic to get a new prescription for birth control they gave me a free generic. Within a few weeks of starting it I was my old self again. Doctors need to warn patients about the emotional side effects of these drugs, not just the physical side effects. I c... View full comment
