Actually I think I was lucky. I didn't feel any side effects of the pill for about 8-9 years being on it. I didn't gain any weight, didn't have headaches, or any other health problems, just periodical mood swing, that could be very manageable. However a year or two ago I've started to suffer from depression. Especially during the time when I was switching between the pills. I had horrible mood swings, cry and then laugh in 5 min. I could cry for no reason. I've also developed a lump in my breast. Nothing serious, fibromioma but still. I'm not sure if that's because of bc, but they definitely didn't help. Long-term side effects of being on bc can include sexual disfunction, breast cancer, increased risk of cervical cancer, blood clots, etc.
