I take Alesse, the BCP with the most irritating commercials and advertisements I have ever seen.....LOL. I just started taking it in December 2005.
Way before Alesse, actully, a few years ago, I was on Diane -35. Diane -35 was prescribed to me by my doctor because it is good for bad acne and hair loss (both of which I have). I was hopeful, but Diane -35 turned out to be my worst nightmare. It gave me headaches and made me a raging hormonal psycho! I was even yelling at my boss, telling him where to go and hanging up on clients at work... It was terrible! And it gave me really bad depression. I was on it for a month and went to the doctor to tell her about the side effects and she told me to stop taking it and that in her practice alot of her patients taking Diane -35 had the same kind of side effects. I was mad that she didn't tell me before hand so I stopped seeing her and see someone else now.
I have found Alesse to be very friendly to me so far. I have had no headaches with it and it is actually clearing up my skin. Now if it would only make my hair grow in.... LOL. I swore off BCPs after Diane -35, but a new gynecologist I saw in late November, 2005 wanted me to try Alesse and so far, I am glad I agreed.
If you don't mind me asking, what BCP are you on and how long exactly have you been taking it?
