Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced these side effects (or others) with this drug. Thanks in advance!

I was on Desogen and it made me feel aweful. I was having serious mood swings and really, really bad head aches along with the worst nightmares and night sweats. My boobs also grew 2 cups sizes and were so incredibly sore. For me, desogen was just evil for my system. After about 7-8 days, I rang up asking to switch to a different pill. They put me on orthotrycyline. I was much better with the new pill. No side effects at all.

Maybe you can switch?
