Has anyone taken this birth control? My endocrinologist put me on it because she said that it would help reduce my androgen but now that i have finished the three weeks and am on my period i am having bad anxiety and panic attacks. When I was on the pills i had horrible headache, dark urine, and other weird symptoms. anyone else relate?

No not heard of it, are you based in the UK ? Some pills dont suit some people so it may be worth changing. Also take 2-3 months on the trot as that can help too, it can take a few months for the pill to settle down. As long as you have 4 periods a year then I would take 3 months of pills on the trot as it reduces the symptoms further.
