| 1 | To prevent Pregnacy | Very heavy bleeding the fifth day, cramps, mood swings, very argumentive, and emotional. | I did not like this pill at all and I have only been on it for almost a week. This pill hurts me a lot and just gives me the worst moods. I am 15 and just started this pill. Just try another brand.. But some people get it good and some get it bad.. | F | 15 | 6 days 1/35 1X day | 2/27/2013 | 4 | Regulate Period | Breakthrough bleeding the first week. acne cleared up. No nausea, weight gain, moodiness, low sex drive, or cramps. | I love it!!! | F | 16 | 1 months 1X day | 9/16/2010 | 4 | PCOS/AWFUL cramps/ heavy bleeding | Better moods , I usually have cramps 24/7. I haven't had a cramp since I started. I usually NEVER wake up on time, I'm just never motivate to get up and do thing , but since I have started this I have been waking up motivate and right on time. The only think I think is dofferent or concerning is a lot mor vaginal discharge. | F | 16 | 7 days | 9/30/2015 | 3 | Unbearable cramps, irregularity | I was an emotional roller coaster my first month of this bc. it also has been making me very naseous. I am on the inactive pills now, and though it's only the first month my cramps were still debilitating. | F | 16 | 35 days 1X day | 11/25/2010 | 1 | Endo treatment | Insomnia lightheaded ness dry eyes excessive crying | This drug is awful. I've only been on it 4 days!! I think I lost my mind,I barely sleep and then u get weak and lighthead so I see dots everywhere and shadows move and become demons and I almost screamed. I'd sleep so I wouldn't have to deal w/it if I could!!I cry so easy w/lil things!! I'm moody and depressed then happy.oh its no fun trying to walk after like 4 hrs of sleep in 4 days.it may work for some but a lot of things I checked not many were happy w/this drug. But it could b different just b careful and note any changes at all u feel so u can try to figure out wat u need to do. | F | 16 | 4 days 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 1 | birth control | Weight loss, ibs, no period | 16 | 2 months 1X day | 12/6/2011 | 1 | Ovarian Cyst, acne & prevention | I have been taking this pill for 7 days the first day I was so sick to my stomach so then I changed to taking the pill in the morning with food now I no longer feel sick which is a plus but the down fall to this birth control is I am a person who has energy all the time and I have no energy at all on this pill & today was probably the worst day of feeling fatigue! Not to mention I look bloated and I've probably gained close to 3-5 pounds this week because I eat everything in sight! Before the pill I was the girl who could eat breakfast before school and lunch at school and not even been hungry during dinner time but this week all I have wanted to do is eat and it's ridiculous!!! I really don't think I want to keep taking this If things are still like this a month from now. & not to mention the reviews are just terrible!! | F | 16 | 7 days 1/35 | 10/16/2015 | 3 | Birth Control | Very sore breasts, tired, mood swings that I've never had before. I would want to cry one minute then be okay the next. The side effects aren't that bad, though. It's better than becoming pregnant. | F | 17 | 3 months 1X day | 3/4/2010 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | bloating, cramping, fatigue, vaginal dryness | I started this bc pill because i had tried two others which didn't work because of how they screwed with my hormones. I mostly like this pill. i get some mild cramping and bloating throughout the month mostly in the week before my period is suppose to start and the week after my period ends and occasionally in between. But compared to the other pills i was on it is nothing. I'm thinking i might talk to my gyno about switching again to see if we can eliminate the cramps and bloating all together but i'm not sure if its worth it because it isn't any more than a mild irritant. overall i am happy with this pill, no weight gain, no moodiness, for me it increased my sex drive slightly. | F | 18 | 3 months 1X day | 5/21/2011 | 3 | pregnancy prevention | mood swings, depression, lack of sex drive or extremely high libido | I took the generic for about three months, quit for 5 or so, then just got back on it about 2-3 months ago. I will be calling my doctor tomorrow, because I have been noticing extreme mood swings, including in my sex drive. I will become depressed over silly things or whine for no reason (and I hardly ever complain). My boyfriend and mother have noticed these changes as well. I will be trying a different pill soon, and maybe that will help. | F | 18 | 3 months 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 3 | Birth Control/Cramps | EXTREME fatigue, depression, moody, breast tenderness, slight nausea, trouble concentrating, slight consipation/diahhrea. | It works okay, I'm on my third month taking it, but I'm so tired all the time, I fall asleep anywhere and everywhere... it's becoming to be a huge burden because I'm not as efficient with my work as I used to be, and that's a problem. All I think about is sleeping and I never seem to get enough of it. | F | 18 | 3 months | 4/26/2007 | 3 | Irregular bleeding | Nausea/dizziness for the first 2 packs, rapid weight gain (14 lb), lethargy, depression | F | 18 | 3 months | 11/17/2008 | 2 | birth control | Nausea, irregular bleeding, anxiety/panic attacks, breast tenderness, weight loss, chest pains,etc. | This pill was a welcome relief after the nightmare that was 'Ortho Tri-cyclen' but the longer I've taken it the worse the side effects seem to get. I'm finishing up my third pill pack and honestly i've been worried i'm pregnant. Until discovering that all the symptoms could parallel with my BC. I can't eat anymore because I'm constantly sick to my stomach. I've had sevel anxiety attacks in the last month and I cry constantly. I feel depressed as I did with the last pill. I'm thinking of giving up on birth control pills because I'd rather be pregnant than fighting these miserable side-effects. | F | 18 | 3 months | 8/20/2009 | 2 | Birth Control | Headaches every day, horrible, horrible migraines | F | 18 | 1.5 years | 2/17/2006 | 1 | birth control, cramps | severe panic/anxiety attacks, paranoia, dizziness, headaches, spotting | On my 4th day of taking this pill, I had a severe panic attack. I started crying over something that I'm not even sure of. I had dizzy mornings and migraines. I was afraid of who knows what. Even after stopping the pill, I am still feeling paranoid/anxiety. | F | 18 | 4 days | 7/10/2009 | 1 | birth control | it was my first time taking a birth control pill and i only stayed on it for about 6 months or so. before my period starts my boobs are soo tender they cant even be touched. my biggest comlpaint though...NO SEX DRIVE. ive been with my bf for a year and it has caused so many fights becaus i just enever get turned on. i could seriously go a month and not do anything sexual...without it even phasing me. also, i wouldnt get wet before sex and even during sex i would get really dry. i gained about 3 pounds and it all went straight to stomach. it did a good job at preventing pregnancy...but its kinda hard to get pregnant when you cant even get turned on enough to have sex... | F | 18 | 6 months | 1/21/2010 | 5 | releive my symptoms | the first few months i was moody the week before my period had a little spotting the 3rd and 4th month but other than that it was great i now only have a 4 day period with 1 day of cramps. | i would recomend it i have had problems with EVERY other pill i took 4 others to be exact, finally on that works well. | F | 19 | 6 months | 7/23/2007 | 5 | birth control | Nausea, vaginal dryness during sex | This is the first birth control pill I've ever been on and I LOVE IT! I've only been taking it a month, but the only side effect that bothered me was the nausea during my first pack. Its gone away, but my appetite is changed and I don't eat as much (which is ok, because I've lost a few pounds because of it!). I've noticed that during sex I dry out really quickly but it's nothing a little KY can't fix and doesn't really hamper anything. Also, its helped stop my mood swings, my periods are a BREEZE, and my acne is clearing up! I LOVE IT!!! | F | 19 | 1 months 1X day | 4/13/2010 | 4 | Birth Control | I really like this pill. I experienced slight mood swings, but they were very slight and are now completely gone. | I would recommend to people who are looking at this site that the people who review things here tend to have had bad experiences, and are certainly not the norm. This product will not have many of the bad side effects mentioned here for most women who take them. I really like this pill, I experienced no weight gain and it's effective. | F | 19 | 2 months 35 mcg 1X day | 2/15/2010 | 4 | Irregular Periods | Extremely tired. I'll be perky one minute, and then all of a sudden I'll get hit with a blast of fatigue. Other than that nothing much. I just feel lazy a lot. I haven't experienced any mood swings, or nausea just fatigue. :/ Is that normal? | F | 19 | 7 days 1X day | 6/8/2010 |
