Just wondering if anyone else here has any experience with taking the birth control Azurette? Or if it's maybe just me? But I will never, ever, ever take this ever again. If this is a common thing I also strongly recommend that everyone else stay away from this pill.

Granted, I have underlying issues with undiagnosed symptoms of depression/PTSD from finding a family member after they've committed suicide, but I usually have at least some control over my emotions and body.

The second day I started Azurette, I got extremely irritated with literally everything and everyone around me. I am absolutely not an angry person, but I absolutely hated my life and got extremely, EXTREMELY depressed. Came home from school one night and completely trashed my bedroom. Flipped a bench over, threw everything to the other side of the room and nothing was left in place. Then went to work, didn't say a single word to anyone for almost 6 hours straight, and went home to cry some more.

Only took this pill for six days, it seemed to have cleared up some minor acne and such but I spent almost every night I took a pill (on schedule, 8pm every night for six days) bawling my eyes out and begging my boyfriend to take me to the hospital for some mental help. I cried for almost five hours (on and off) because I spilled his cup of soda in my room that we had picked up from McDonalds on our way home from work. This is SO unlike me and made me feel absolutely pathetic, but no lattter what I did, I could not stop crying.

Because I could not stop crying and lost all control over my own body, I felt so hopeless and pathetic that I resorted to alcohol to "help me" feel better. Did some research to make sure it was safe to drink while on Azurette, and there were no known dangers so away I went. Obviously that was a terrible idea because I was already depressed, but I was also desperate. Almost was hospitalized for a suicidal attempt. As I said, I found a family member after they put me and many others through that and would never, ever wish that on even my very worst enemy.

I was not myself. Stopped taking the meds as soon as I made the connection and have felt amazing since. Back to my normal self two days later.
