| 4 | 35 | I hate everyone | It made me poop my pants | M | 86 | 87 days | 12/9/2006 | 5 | heavy periods, fibroids | none | Be prepared,it may be regional, but Demulen is no longer available in my area. Zovia helped me to gain weight, about 14lbs.So am looking for the next best thing to Demulen. Help! | F | 52 | 10 years | 10/26/2007 | 2 | Birth Control | I was on Demulen 1/35 when I was 21 and I didn't even notice it. No side effects and I could time my periods by the second. They were super light and only lasted 3 days with no cramps. I am now 43 and only Zovia is available. I've been on it two weeks and am bleeding like I'm having a period and having horrible cramps. I hope this doesn't last long. I tried the ortho nova patch before this and it was an absolute nightmare. Nausea, enlarged tender breasts and bad depression. This bleeding and cramping isn't much better. I was fine for the first two weeks until this. I wish the real Demulen was still available instead of this generic stuff. | F | 43 | 14 days 1/35 1X day | 10/14/2010 | 5 | birth control, acne, lighter period | Some breast tenderness a week or two before period. | I tried 6-7 other pills and had a lot of side effects before my Dr. prescribed Zovia. It works the best for me - I lost weight, lighter periods, better mood, less acne! I went off the pill after my husband had a vasectomy 6 mths. ago, but I'm getting back on it b/c I've been miserable since I stopped taking it. | F | 41 | 10 years | 6/27/2008 | 5 | birth control | I have been on Demulen for 17 years and have no complaints. One added benefit other than birth control is the fact that you can pretty much know the time and day your period is going to start, length is shorter and flow is lighter. I have recently been told that they have discontinued Demulen and I am somewhat disappointed to have to change from something that has worked so well. | F | 38 | 17 years | 4/27/2007 | 3 | Excessive Bleeding | Weight Gain, decreased sex drive, increased vaginal secretions, | Went from excessive flow to heavy, no real change. | F | 34 | 6 years | 2/5/2005 | 5 | birth control | No side effects ever in 6 years!! | This was great for 6 years. It did take me about a year and a half to get pregnant after stopping this pill. I took the name brand, not the generic. Then after the birth of my son, I tried this again, however they had stopped making the name brand so I had to take the generic, zovia the second time around. It was horrible. It was not the same. I had to stop taking it after 2 weeks. | F | 32 | 6 years | 11/23/2009 | 3 | BC | No side effects other than loss of sex drive. | This pill caused me no trouble at all, but it killed my libido | F | 32 | 3 years | 11/15/2006 | 1 | bc, irregular period on last bcp | bloating, mild headaches, overreacting to situations, moodiness, sad | definitely getting off these bcp. I hate the way I'm feeling! I am normally a very calm and easygoing person and I'm just feeling so unlike myself. Very short tempered. Sending husband to get fixed!! | F | 31 | | 2/27/2008 | 5 | birth control | No noticeable side effects, may get moody around period time, lighter periods(1-3 days), can miss periods up to 3 months in a row. | I started taking Demulen 9 years ago. I never had any side effects, except noticing that a few days before my periods, I may get moody, depresss, but it only last about 2-3 days. No weight gain, clearer skin, don't feel any different, no babies! | F | 30 | 9 years 1X day | 6/30/2012 | 4 | Birth control. | Slight weight gain, bloating. | This is the third bc pill I've been on in 2 years. All others have caused spotting in the 3rd week. I've only been on this one a month but so far so good. I quit smoking this month too so many of the side effects could be due to that -- headaches/bloating/crankiness. | F | 30 | 1 months | 5/20/2007 | 3 | headaches, leg cramps, emotional | 30 | 2 months | 7/20/2006 | 1 | BC | Severe depression, anxiety, hallucinations | Being on this pill was the scariest time in my life. I was severely depressed and crying constantly. I would greatly overreact to any stressful situation. Additionally, I was terrified of my husband who has never given me anything to fear. I was sure he was going to kill me. I have little recollection of this time, but have been told about it. I felt as if I were watching myself from outside my body and couldn't control my outrageous emotions. Scary. | F | 30 | 4 months | 8/3/2005 | 1 | Regulate persiods | Gained 13lbs, swollen breasts, acne, mood swings, cramping and heavy flow periods | F | 30 | 3 months 1X day | 5/2/2011 | 5 | PCOS | I am taking the generic, Zovia 1/35. Initially had mild nausea, abdominal cramps, and spotting. All went away by the second month. No weight gain, breast tenderness, acne, etc. Unfortunately, low sex drive, which is my only complaint. | F | 29 | 4 months 35 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 4 | Birth Control | Worst - heat rash, sensitive skin, extra hair. Some bloating and possibly mood swings :), sore nipples. Some periods missed consecutively, screw up on the pills at all and get spotting. | I just recently discovered that this is probably what has been giving me sun sensitive skin, easily getting heat rash and burning quicker. I just now read that it can increase hair growth and am pretty sure that has happened too, my arm hair is LONG and everywhere, and I get lots of mutant long hairs on my back, face and arms frequently. Plus I have hairy hands and feet. But no kids, so it worked that way, and I had tried many other kinds in a couple years with always bleeding through. Demulen did give me 3 day barely there periods which was nice, but worrysome when it didnt come for 3 months. Stopping because I want to see if I notice any difference in myself not on it, hoping for no more heat rash, its itchy and ugly. | F | 29 | 12 years 30 1X day | 6/28/2012 | 4 | PCOS/endometreosis | spotting between periods but very rarely | i have tried everyother BCP known to man and this one works for me | F | 29 | 2 years | 12/26/2007 | 4 | BC - Demulin 30 | Lack of sex drive, sore boobs about 1 week before | Made it so my periods were extremly light and short and sometimes nothing at all had horrible times before where I couldn't get out of bed. Sex drive in kinda lacking but still good. | F | 28 | 11 years | 7/15/2008 | 4 | birth control | Taking Demulen 30. Experiencing fatigue that may be cause by the drug. Weightloss also suspect caused by the drug. | Does the job, lessend cramps and light menstral flow. | F | 28 | 2 years | 1/23/2005 | 5 | Heavy bleeding, cramping | decreased sex drive, nausea first 3 days | Been on a lot of different ones, seems to have the least side effects, others caused fatigue, periods for 5-7 days, acne. | F | 27 | 10 years | 3/19/2007 |
