For Birth Control "With Ortho-Novum 7/7/7, I had horrible mood swings almost right away. My boyfriend even noticed it when I started taking it. Very depressed and extremely irritable all the time. I was on different birth control in the past and never had this issue."

For Birth Control "I got off this pill for a few months because I realized how bloated and moody I was 2 weeks before my cycle. Even though this helped lighten up my cycle and shorten it. Anyway, I got back on it this month, and after the first day, I immediately noticed my mood swings and my craving for food. This is crazy. I am going to finish this pack out because, and only because, I need my cycle to come on the day it's supposed to, but after this, I am not going to take 7/7/7 anymore. Crazy how this affects you physically and emotionally. I am also not motivated to do anything...again crazy."

For Birth Control "This is an awful pill that made me depressed and have crying fits for no reason. These issues went away as soon as I went off it."
