I have considered this drug in the past but I thought the expense and the side effects would make it not worth it. Looks like maybe it is indeed not worth it, given how bad the side effects can be.

How?
It is a hormone, so it has the potential to give rise to mood disorders.
I’m not sure, but the UK’s National Health Service mentions depression as a potential side effect.
Drugs can have all sorts of side effects through mechanisms that we might not fully understand (maybe scientists do understand this particular mechanism though, I don’t know).
The rates of the side effects listed are highly blown out of proportion. Humans are inherently pretty terrible at assessing risk on such scales.
