| 4 | birth control | Noticed so many negative comments on here! I was very happy on this pill for years. I think most of you are most probably progesterone intolerant hence why you experience the bad effects. | F | 53 | 3 years 350 | 5/18/2015 | 3 | Cannot take anything with estrogen | I got EXTREMELY heavy periods every two weeks for the first 4 months. Could hardly get out of the house... Now after one year it is very light but it is still every other week which is very annoying. I think my sex drive has decreases and i have actually lost weight since i started taking it. I am considering stopping it altogether but i am a little hesitant as i was never regular before and i would sometimes spot for 3 weeks straight... | F | 24 | 1 days | 5/16/2015 | 4 | Migraine management | Some weight gain | Tried this as a last option for chronic migraines (been going to neurologists for years with no relief). I gained a bit of weight at first but nothing noticible by others. Periods have gone and only a bit of spotting every 2 months or so. I think this is a great option for migraine sufferers with hormonal triggers. | F | 31 | 7 months 1X day | 5/7/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Sore breasts Body ache Tired Extreme mood changes Depression Increased anxiety Weight gain | Stopping this drug today. Was unaware it would have this much effect on my mental health. I cannot continue on a pill that causes me to be emotionally unstable. Nearly ruined my relationship. had extreme mood swings and depression. Weight gain and acne were the first things I noticed. About 3 weeks in, woke up feeling sore all over. My body was aching. And Breast pain followed. Once I realized my moods were becoming extreme I decided it's not worth it. This pill changed my moods so much I can barely recognize myself. I went from cheerful, motivating and happy, to crying daily and having emotional breakdowns. Hoping the effects of this pill are out of my system asap. | F | 36 | 1 months | 5/1/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Moody, extremely depressed. Spotting between period. Weight gain. Zero sex drive | this is the worst pill ever. The clinician put me on it because she didn't trust putting me on the combo pills due to my fluctuating blood pressure. Keep in mind I've been on the combination pills all my life and never had problems. I started taking this pill on my period and instantly noticed My period lasted a full 6-7 days. Not cool. 2 weeks into taking this pill, I was bleeding again. Not cool. It's been 4 days and I'm still bleeding. It's not light spotting. It's heavy like a period. I've also been trying to lose weight and i feel like this pill is making it hard for my weight to drop no matter what i do. I also feel so depressed that I'm close to crying sometimes. im returning these pills asap and gonna try to get back on the combination pill. Stay away from this pill, it should be banned! | F | 26 | 2 weeks | 4/28/2015 | 2 | Endometriosis, extreme pain during | Lack of interest, indifference, mood swings, hair loss, loss of sex drive | Thank god I found these reviews, I thought I was losing my mind, and never connected these side effects to the pill. I'm typically a very happy and energetic girl by nature, and going into year 2 with this pill I lost interest and energy to do ANYTHING. This indifference affected my work life tremendously. Going outside of my room felt like a chore. I could go from extreme happiness (short lived) to anger in a second. I thought I was becoming bipolar! I have no history of depression and truly feel for those going through it. My hair thinned out, my hands and feet have consistently felt cold, and I have not had any period in the two years of taking this pill. My sex drive has totally disappeared. Going off of it today - I want to be myself and happy again. | F | 25 | 2 years | 4/22/2015 | 5 | Contraception | I have not had a period since starting to take Micronor, which is great. I have had no other side effects. | It has been a very successful pill for me. | F | 54 | 14 years 1X day | 4/21/2015 | 1 | Period control | It took four months for my body to get use to this pill and everything seemed okay after...but for the past 1yr or so I have been stuffing with migraines more frequently, my skin is awful and my periods are lasting much longer than before. It is now four weeks since my period started and I see no end in sight this has become a regular occurrence.......As of today I have stopped taking this pill hopefully this makes a positive difference in my life asap | Also I have gained a lot more weight and can't seem to shift it plus I forever feel tired no matter how much sleep I get. | F | 31 | 4 years | 4/7/2015 | 3 | Contraception | Experienced spotting when I first started it and a few heavier periods but after 2-3 cycles/months it all settled down. My periods were shorter and lighter and less painful - my skin was clearer, I put on no weight and I didn't become pregnant. I was vigilant about taking it at exactly the same time each day and I never missed a pill. Unfortunately though I felt increasingly down like I was living under a black cloud, my emotions were so on the edge I would cry or snap over the smallest thing and I seemed to have many anxieties and would become paranoid about things. The problem was I couldn't always see it in myself and just accepted how I was.... | This pill works if you take it at the exact time each day and physically can be quite side effect free once it settles in your system. Mentally though is another matter- my relationship has suffered extremely with my dramatic mood swings and issues with every little thing and inability to deal with anything- all of which disappeared instantly once I stopped taking it. I rated it 3 because really it would get a 5 for how well it worked, how my cycles were short and still pretty regular and no pregnancy but 1 for how it affected my mood. I think you have to try and see for if it doesn't affect your mood then it offers side effect free reliable contraception. | F | 35 | 3 years | 3/31/2015 | 2 | Couldn't take cerizette | Was great to begin with but now for the past 2 months I've ha a period every other week. (1 week full period 1 week no period and so on) it's physically draining for my body and have no idea what's causing it since it has always been fantastic. | F | 25 | 10 months 30mg | 3/24/2015 | 1 | birth control | moodiness, depression, sad, tired all the time, snap and the people I care about. I have been saying this for many years and my boyfriend didn't believe me. Argumentative. | F | 48 | 8 years .35 1X day | 3/24/2015 | 2 | Contraception. Regulate period | Painful lumpy breasts! So tired and bloated. Mood changes. Period every 2 weeks and so heavy!! | F | 37 | 1 times 30 | 3/16/2015 | 1 | Endometriosis ~ Pain | This pill made me crazy. Mood swings. From crying to laughing to wanting to punch someone in the face. Face. Can you say ache? Worst ever in my life. Who needs to fit into pants when you bloat like you 3 months pregnant. And my Breast. Filled out and proud to show them off, but no touching for they hurt so bad. And took my sex drive. Caught up on sleep for my boyfriend thought I was loosing my mind and didn't know who I was. Worst Pill EVER! Stay sane. Don't take this shit... | F | 37 | 1 days | 3/12/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Low sex drive, clitoral desensitisation, problems getting to sleep, trouble waking up. | I have to say these are the only side effects I have experienced so much better than some pills but the low sex drive is causing problems for me emotionally and for mine and my partners relationship! | F | 21 | 4 months | 3/3/2015 | 3 | Contraceptive | Incredible breast tenderness Periods were longer Spotting Mood swings | I had a good start with micronor and then 6 months into taking it I have experienced spotting and longer periods. My breasts are swollen and really sore. I am not sure to carry on with it and try and ignore these side effects or stop it all together. Any one else experiencing this? | F | 34 | 6 months 30mg | 2/19/2015 | 4 | Heavy painful periods, contraceptoo | No period at all so far. Before taking this pill I had quite bad breakouts of acne during my period, and relatively clear skin for the rest of the month. So far while taking micronor I haven't had a period and have had clear skin so I'd say it's benefitted my skin. Have put on 3 pounds since starting it but I've been eating loads- don't know if that's because pill has increased my appetite or not but either way I've put on weight. No increase in breast size. No depression or mood swings. Basically micronor has made me have no pms symptoms at all because no period. | I was initially scared to try this pill due to reading so many bad reviews, but I won't be changing it any time soon. | F | 18 | 6 weeks 350mg | 2/18/2015 | 3 | Birth Control | I experience irregular periods. Sometimes I have heavy periods, sometimes I have super light periods that last about three days, or I simply don't have a period at all. It's somewhat annoying not having a regular period. I',m not sure if my body has yet to adjust but it's been 4 months.. you would think it should be acquainted by now. I have not experienced any weight gain but find it rather difficult to loose weight...my weight isn't even fluctuating. Going along with these side effects, I notice I have become short tempered. Not sure if this just has to do with my everyday events going on in my life or if it's actually a side effect from the pill itself. Acne has always been an ongoing battle, Micronor hasn't helped with clearing it nor has it made it worse. | Considering switching my pill | F | 18 | 4 months 1X day | 2/18/2015 | 1 | birth control, period | Headaches, severe depression, mood swings, decreased appetite | Unfortunately my only option for oral contraceptive was micronor since an estrogen based pill was not an option. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. For the short amount of time I was on micronor I experienced a constant dull headache. Nothing compared to a migraine or concussion type headache, just an annoyance. I also experienced depression that gradually got worse as I continued to take this drug. It is important to note that, prior to taking this drug, I had never experienced depression nor taken a drug that had induced such feelings. It is difficult to say whether my loss of appetite was from micronor, the depression it caused, or a combination - regardless it was present. Throughout the entire time I was taking this pill I experienced awful mood swings. These were not your typical PMS mood swings. Everything I could once tolerate became incredibly annoying. I felt unable to control these mood swings. I eventually decided to discontinue the medicine. For me, the cons greatly outweigh the pros with this pill. I'm very thankful I knew these were side effects of the drug so I could act appropriately. | F | 2.5 weeks 1X day | 2/15/2015 | 1 | PERIODS | Extreme weight gain 5 pounds in one week, bloated belly and breasts so swollen, sore and sensitive the sheet lying on top of them in bed even hurt!!! | The side effects were horrible and I threw the package out after 1 week. Now I am just worried about how long it will take to feel normal again. I am super fit and in very good shape but my abs have disappeared with the weight gain and bloating!!! | F | 44 | 7 days 1X day | 2/11/2015 | 1 | I am 43 years old | Headaches, lethargy, insatiable appetite, fogginess, back and chest pain. | Stopped taking after two weeks as I felt unwell, exhausted and basically just "not myself". Dangerous drug. I too suffer from anxiety issues and as I was already on medication for depression and anxiety I couldn't say if that was also a contributed to my side effects. | F | 43 | 2 weeks 350 microg 1X day | 2/7/2015 |
