text: does any women have problems on the pill????? i seem to have mood swings and a very low sex drive. does this happen to anyone else or just me. can anyone help????? numerous females on "the pill" have these symptoms and it is just a matter of determining what hormone works for your body chemistry. it is a rather common side effect of many birth control products and the physician may instruct you to stay on them for a little longer  so that the hormone levels may equalize or even may prescribe a different contraceptive. this is definitely a mal-effect  of the pill your using and you should seek for an alternate method to prevent unwanted pregnancies other than your current method.    good luck
