2 years ago I started taking the pill (I cannot remember what kind) but
it turned me into a monster. Within 2 weeks of taking it I was very
irritable and angry alot, and I remember one Sunday afternoon getting
really angry at my boyfriend and lunging at him and putting my hands
around his neck. This is NOT me at all! I figured it had to be the
pill. I contacted my doctor the next day and switched to another brand
and never had another problem.
Talk to your doctor about swtiching!
