Desogen and eating habits

After reading all of these comments I no longer feel crazy. Since I've started Desogen in January, I've had mornings where I wanted to roll from my bed right through the window. I've felt suicidal for no real reason. I would wake up thinking, "I can't do today." I've been so depressed and moody, even more so than usual. I've always been a pretty emotional being, but I found myself on the phone at work crying hysterically to a cousin about something so ridiculous that I know I freaked her out. However, since being on Desogen, the only times I've been happy were the moments that I was right next to my boyfriend or on the phone with him. Even when he'd leave the room to go shower my mood would drop tremendously. My sex drive hasn't changed that much. I'm slightly dryer than usual. I feel sick everyday all day (everyone thought I was pregnant, which I'm not). My eating habits have changed. I've gone from eating about 4 meals a day to eating once, maybe twice. A few days I had gone without eating simply because I did not want to get out of the bed. My sleeping pattern is off. And I have no energy. I've stopped working out because after work all I want to do is climb in my bed. This is nothing like me. I'm usually really excited, always dancing, had a pretty good workout schedule going. Now I feel like an empty shell of myself. Should I lay off Desogen, or wait to see if things change?

I DO NOT recommend Desogen!!! I started taking Desogen because it was cheaper through my university health center. I started off fine...then the second and third week I began getting extremely tense in my neck and shoulders, severe headaches, I had nausea for 2 weeks straight. My eating habits changed dramatically - I began to constantly think about food and get terrible cravings. I had no self-control when it came to food. Everytime I ate, even when I was extremely hungry, I became very bloated. I could have a couple bites of something about feel like I spent 3 hours at a buffet. My breasts increased in size and I gained weight due to the change in eating. My sex drive is low - my boyfriend and I used to have sex regularly but I have not had sex in 23 days - he's been keeping count :(. I am very emotional and depressed sometimes. During these two weeks, I have random pains in my abdomen that feel like cramps I would have during my period. I didn't have any kind of spotting or anything and it wasn't too heavy when I was on my period. I also have very loose stools - often diarea (sp?) then I'll take Immodium and get really constipated. I have almost all of the symptoms of pregnancy but there's no way I'm pregnant - it's this stupid birth control. I know that most medicines take 3 months to get right in the body but I stopped my second month. I couldn't handle it. I stopped last night - right before the start of the 3rd week. I feel amazingly better even the day after - I still feel bloated and stuff though. Don't take it unless you want to feel like you are sick 24/7.

I have been taking Desogen for about 7 months, and have been experiencing low sex drive, mood swings (perfectly happy one minute then one small negative thing will put me in a horrible mood instantly) and much heavier bleeding than with my previous pills. I have also gained weight recently (about 5 pounds) but that could very well be due to a change in eating habits.
