Well, I deffently dont want to discourage you from taking BC, but I have just recently started BC for the first time, was on orthotricyclin Lo for about 3 months, and let me tell you it has been the worst 3 months of my life!! At first I thought I was just stressed out because I have a lot going on, then I got very depressed and started having horrible mood swings. My boyfriend has noticed my personality change and Im lucky hes been patient with me. It made me so overly sensitive and emotional I thought I was loosing my mind!! Im so glad I figured out what the problem was before It got more serious. There are a lot of modern problems with the pill. I know plenty of people who experience this when taking the pill so be careful Who knows, u may do fine with it ;but use caution! <font color="purple"> </font>
