Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I started taking this in April of 2011 and it is now March 2012. This is also the first birth control I have ever taken. I honestly can say that this pill has made me a different person as in very moody, especially during the third row of pills (the blue ones). My husband even says "it must be blue pill week!" since this is the week I tend to be extremely moody. I used to be really nice and laugh at just about anything but now while on this pill I just feel super anxious and I even think this raises my blood pressure. The only good thing about this pill is that it has helped me with my cystic acne. Before I started taking this pill, I would get really bad cystic pimples on my jawline but I haven't had any since being on this pill."
