birth control
"Ughhh. I was on Trivora and finally feeling emotionally stable when Planned Parenthood switched me to the "off brand" Chateal. I read the reviews and actually convinced myself maybe I didn't need birth control at the moment because I want sexually active. This pill did not look fun. I went to a doctor and asked advice. She said pretty emotionlessly "Just take it" the side effects should be the same as the name brand. If not, they are really just inconvenient, no biggy. Yeah, easy for you to say.



The reviews are right! Mood swings, random crying, aggrivated easily, my skin crawls, constant sleepiness. I get home from work, sleep 5-7 then sleep again easily at midnight. More on weekends with really odd dreams. And tbd new pelvic pain. Yay!"
