Didn't realize it until I noticed that I really didn't want my husband to touch me, and we were never like that. Then I read the reviews I was in shock. I'm not taking one more pill. My husband agrees. | F | 48 | 2 years | 4/22/2016 | 3 | to regulate my cycle | Extreme moods wings,very tender breasts,very much bloated and decreasedy sex drive. | F | 26 | 3 months | 9/19/2015 | 1 | birth control | I've experienced some scary blood clots with my menstruation, my face covered with pimples, mood swings and low Sex drive | F | 26 | 3 months | 8/30/2015 | 2 | to regulate my cycle | Big scary clots(flesh like) | F | 35 | 10 days | 8/11/2015 | 1 | ovarian cyst control | Extreme anxiety, depression, extreme mood swings, low libedo. | After i started taking this i noticed that i started getting depressed. The depression turned into having mild anxiety attacks around the placebo week. I thought i would give it a few months. The anxiety lessoned but the mood swswings are horrific. I have stopped taking them because i feel it has changed my attitude and i do not like the person i have become. I am not myself on these pills. Id much rather deal with the pain from a cyst bursting than this emotional roller coaster. | F | 29 | 8 months | 4/28/2015 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | I have been taking the generic version for 3 months. Acne right away (I rarely have had acne in my life), dizzy spells, mood swings, depression. I have never had noticeable side effects form any other birth control. | F | 90 days 1X day | 4/19/2015 | 1 | heavy/long cycles | Depression, anxiety, aggression, weepy, moody, irritable...NOT HAPPY | F | 28 | 10 months | 2/20/2013 | 1 | Birth control | These pills caused a hormone embalance in me. I gained about 15 lbs in 2 months, had extreme fluid retention, no sex drive, mood swings, migraines, and caused my breasts to sag. I do not recommend these pills as the side effects are not worth it. If I wanted that much stress I would have had a kid! | F | 29 | 4 months | 2/13/2013 | 3 | Preventing pregnancy | Severe headache nd my breast are shining as if m preg | F | 20 | 1 weeks | 4/18/2012 | 2 | birth control | weight gain, decreased sex drive, lethargic | My periods are extremely light compared to when I was on Ortho-cept. They are so light that it concerns me. I was on Ortho-cept for 10 years and no problems but my clinic stopped carrying it. I may try to get it somewhere else. | F | 34 | 6 months | 1/30/2008 | 1 | prevention of pregnancy | SEVERE moodiness | The decision to stop taking this pill came when I realized that even I didn't like the "new" me. Not saying that it is the same in everyone, but this pill gave me severe mood swings and I snapped at the least little thing. I am going back to Nordette 28. | F | 32 | 11 months | 8/11/2007 | 5 | birth control, heavy periods, acne | As long as I take the brand version of this pill (not the generic) I have no side effects after the first month or two. First two months I had some problems with mood swings but nothing else. I find that my sex drive is affected negatively from the generic version but I don't seem to have as much of a problem with the brand version. I also get some other undesirable side effects from the generic - mood problems especially. I've taken two different kinds of generic pills for this drug and while one was better than the other, I still don't do as well on them. | This has been the best pill for me. I took it for about 3 years but then tried some others due to sex drive issues. I've tried Ovcon-35, Estrostep, OTC lo, and Yaz. I liked OTC lo A LOT and it was great for my sex drive, but it took my acne from mild to severe and I'm still trying to recover. I did not do well on any of the other pills. I went back to Lo/Ovral 3 months ago. It is a bit expensive for me because I will only take the brand name, but it's worth it. | F | 26 | 3.5 years | 8/8/2007 | 3 | Birth control | Headache and upset stomach | F | 22 | 4 days | 3/8/2007 | 3 | Headache | F | 22 | 4 days | 3/8/2007 | 3 | birth control/ cycle regulation | headaches and moodiness during inactive week of pills. slight weight gain. | took a few monthes to make cycles lighter, but they are now lighter. | F | 19 | 6 months | 2/22/2007 | 3 | pain prevention / bc | I have nausea all day long. Headache and my breast are killing mme. | I have only been taking this pill 6 days. I feel horrible. I took Demulen or its generic for 4 yrs stopped 6 mnths then took it for 8 more years.

I was then put on Lo/Ovral-28 (actually the generic, Lo-Ogestrel). Most of my issues had gone away before starting the Lo/Ovral but quickly came back from THIS pill. | F | 23 | 2 months | 6/1/2006 |
