> 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.

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!

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.
