I agree completely. I decided to try Tri-cyclen after I had been on another Birth Control Pill for about 4 years. I couldn't do it. Tri-Cyclen made me crazy. I had horrible mood swings and I cried over everything. I decided to switch back to my initial pills (Select) and I have been fine ever since.

Don't throw all your doubts away on birth control yet. Try something else. I prefer my monophasic pills rather than the Tri-phasic ones.

Good Luck!
