everyone responds differently to medications..you wont really know how
it will effect your moods till you try it..I am leary of ALL BCP because
everyone I have tried has made me a mad woman...lol.I believe it is
because of the fluctuation in the hormones.The only one I could even
handle for a few months was progesterone only..or the mini pill as they
call it.I still had mood swings but not as bad and because it is such a
low dosage there is an increased risk for pregnancy.
