Kathy, it definitely helps with mood swings. There may be a small risk but I am interested in quality of life in the here and now.

The weeks I take the blanks, I am definitely more moody, not as confident, wake with night sweats at the end of the week, and just don't feel myself. I can't imagine what I would feel like if I wasn't on the pill. Plus, it has helped with my ridiculous cycle, obviously.
