> made her feel irritable, cut her sex drive down to nothing, made her feel not attracted to me

I went through this for a year, and apparently a lot of our married friends have too. I think that this particular side-effect of the pill is more common than drug companies would like to admit. Worse, I think it's been attributed to female nature instead of recognized as a side effect of this far-too-common drug.

I think they not only ignore this, I think they knowingly make pills with worse emotional/affective side effects simply because they can be made cheaper. "Monophasic" birth control pills? That just means all the pills are the same except for the placebos.

made her feel irritable is an understatement for many women.

Sir, may I suggest you better explain your comment a little bit better? It'd be a shame to come across like a sexist soundbite.

I know two women that didn't want to take the pill because they said it made them psycho. Don't shoot the messenger!
