I've been on this type of medication (the generic form) for almost 10 years. (With about a 2.5 year break when I stopped to get pregnant.)
Lately, my periods have been super light, which is nice, but the side effects are terrible! Cramps, whole body aches, skin sensitivity, severe headaches- basically in addition to cramps (and diarrhea) which were both typical for me on periods, I now feel like I have the flu every time too. I'm always cold, though no fever and these extra symptoms come and go right with the cramps. Anyone else experienced this?? I really liked this pill because I hate getting my period every month, but these extra symptoms are not fun and I have been missing days of work every time.
