birth control
"I was prescribed this by my OB-GYN as a birth control method. First month was great! Less heavy and painful period with only a little spotting.

Now? Not so much. I get 2 periods a month now, with severe cramping that lasts for days. I've lost 10 pounds, but am always hungry. I have severe mood swings and increased anxiety. I am now lucky enough to have at least one panic attack a day. My acne has gotten worse, and I'm tired all the time.

I've talked to my doctor about it, but my concerns have been dismissed. If this doesn't stop by the end of next month, I will get a second opinion and a different birth control method."
