Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I wanted to get on birth control for lighter periods and hopefully alleviate some of the other pms symptoms I get pretty intensely. I've only been on it a month but this pill has been awful for me. I've had the worst anxiety and mood swings. I've been nauseous, unusually tired, had upset stomach, and/or had a headache several times a week, not to mention I've had light to moderate bleeding every day since I started. I'm 2 days into the white pills and now it seems I've started my period with the usual symptoms. My goal was to give this 2-3 months as I know it takes time for your body to adjust, but it isn't worth it for me."
