One of my female friends confirmed that she was a raging lunatic for the year and a half she was taking the pill. I am kind of dissapointed that when I asked the gyno about the side effects of the hormones he replied, "You should have no problems as it's a very low dose." I never heard about the differences between hormonal formulas until I read it here. I can't believe that so many women have suffered needlessly, continuing to take the medication after the onset of symptoms. Especially in someone who has no experience with prior depression, the person would most likely just think they were going crazy. I am grateful that at least I figured it out and stopped the medication early on. At least I have been getting treated for the depression for years and had a yardstick to measure the symptoms with!
