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! Kristin
