Pfft, fiction =/= non-fiction.experience
If you want people to take your opinion seriously you need to give more than one word answers and actually give reasons for your opinions, particularly when you accuse us so quickly and adamantly of being stupid. Anacdotes are one thing but I generally find they are exaggerated and could have other possible causes.experience
i didn't mean you guys were stupid, its just that it did things to me that it shouldn't have (i'm not going into details). Anyway a lot of the information that is readily available encourages confidence in the pill without outlining its possible side effects. All i'm saying is that you should make sure you do as much research of BOTH the benefits and the side effects of the drug before taking it. Many sources neglect to give you accurate warnings or information about the side effects of the pill.If you want people to take your opinion seriously you need to give more than one word answers and actually give reasons for your opinions, particularly when you accuse us so quickly and adamantly of being stupid.

None of us are not saying that you do not have valid reasons for not taking the pill and believe that others should not BUT if you are not going to actually voice them it is a bit rude to say that we are stupid and to keep saying there are many things to consider when I can't speak for everyone else (BUT I am sure like me they have taken a similar approach) I did my research (both online and reading the pack warnings and instructions) and went to my GP who has my entire medical record from birth plus family history to make sure it would not affect other medical conditions of mine.
i know that idiot, i'm finding it highly amusingshut up im mocking you
you're kidding, right? there is quite a lot of information in the booklet that you get with the pill that outlines the side effects of taking it in quite a lot of detail right through from bloating, spotting, weight gain through to increased migraines and increased chances of DVT and other conditions. Plus if you had a decent medical practitioner he/she should have discussed the side effects with you anyway. And I have always found that when I get my box despite the fact I have been on it for three years my pharmacist will always talk to me about possible side effectsi didn't mean you guys were stupid, its just that it did things to me that it shouldn't have (i'm not going into details).

Exactly, is a huge booklet. Maybe she couldn't be bothered to read it. I did my research before I went on mine, and after.you're kidding, right? there is quite a lot of information in the booklet that you get with the pill that outlines the side effects of taking it in quite a lot of detail right through from bloating, spotting, weight gain through to increased migraines and increased chances of DVT and other conditions.

I did the same. Its not uncommon for people not to read it though (I am not accusing you Freddie of not reading it), I told someone who had been on it for a while that they shouldn't be taking st johns wart as it reduces the pill effectiveness.Exactly, is a huge booklet.

oh i totally get that. I hardly had any side effects at all while others put on a lot of weight and felt really sick at certain times. i just think it is ridiculous to say that most information advertises the benefits and not any of the problems when in my experience that's far from the truthI did the same.

The other problem is the severity of side effects is a subjective thing, personally while a pill wont agree with some that doesn't mean it will effect others (unless we are talking about Liver failure and other serious side effects).
Freddie09 are you saying you got a side effect that wasn't in the booklet? Most people find they don't suffer any significant side effects but it really does depend on the person.
Thank you!! someone with a brain. Yes i got a side effect that was not in the booklet, soz i should have elaborated.I did the same.
