I have been on the mini-pill for almost 4 years (it's a generic brand). I started it when I was nursing, so I wasn't prescribed the estrogen brand. I feel the estrogen made me crazy, anyways, with PMDD. The mini pill has worked great for me. I rarely get me periods (my last one was in November) - while that can be disconcerting, I have had no other side effects. There are no breaks with the mini pill, which was hard to get used to, and if you don't take them at the EXACT time every night, they aren't as effective. I've considered an IUD, but since this is working and I don't suffer through severe PMS, I think I'll stick with it.
