How long until the mood swings and emotional outbursts stop? I started taking this birth control about 3 weeks ago and in the last week I have become an emotional mess. I cry about everything, things I know I would never cry or get upset about. Literally I'll be in the middle of balling my eyes out and saying to myself what are you even upset about... And keep crying. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END?? I do not want to take something that is not even allowing me to be myself. Someone please share their experiences and give me a rough idea when I will go back to normal... If ever?
