| 1 | Regulate persiods | Gained 13lbs, swollen breasts, acne, mood swings, cramping and heavy flow periods | F | 30 | 3 months 1X day | 5/2/2011 | 1 | PCOS. Spotting in between periods | Acne to chest and back. Bloating. Mood swings | I've been on many bcp since I was 16 due to PCOS. I kept spotting in between my periods so my doctor put me on demulon. Since being on demulon, I've had acne to my chest and back and getting large pimples on my face which I never had before. There's been no change in my periods. I still get them for 7 days and they are heavy. I am very short tempered and moody on this bcp. Not a fan of demulon | F | 23 | 3 months | 2/26/2015 | 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 | 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 | 4 | birth control | few headaches and moodiness | I had headaches from Marvelon so I switched to Demulen. Demulen was a lot better. Didn't gain weight and helped decrease acne. Overall, good BC. | F | 24 | 6 months | 9/5/2006 | 4 | To regulate flow, and Birth Control | Have experienced breakthrough bleeding, especially in the week before my period. My breasts have became larger. Had to go up a full cup size. | F | 27 | 6 months 35 1X day | 12/13/2010 | 4 | Acne/Pregnancy Prevention | First four months on Zovia 1/35E it improved my mood swings, I gained weight, about 8 pounds, boobs increased about a cup size, I felt very bloated all the time. Acne got really bad up until the four month mark. Acne completely cleared with the ocassional pimple here & there near the end of my fourth month on the pill. Weight went back down a bit (about 5 pounds but I also exercise almost everyday) and I didnt really have much of a bloated feeling after that. And I have had no pregnancies on the pill. | Everybody is different you have to give it time before it adjusts to your body. I almost stopped taking the pill on the fourth month until I saw it started clearing up my acne majorly. | F | 19 | 6 months 1X day | 4/15/2014 | 3 | Endometriosis | Weight gain, moodiness, depression. | Worked great as a contraceptive, worked to stop my periods, however I find myself extremly sensative, moody and depressed. I've put on 15 lbs since I've started this pill 6 months ago. Want to find a better one that won't make me gain weight. | F | 26 | 6 months | 9/20/2005 | 3 | birth control/cramps | weight gain, lots of acne | Switched from Cyclen to Demulen, gained weight (breast size increased) and got very bad acne (I have never had skin problems before). Stopped the spotting experienced with Cyclen, short periods. | F | 20 | 6 months | 11/13/2005 | 1 | Birth control | Severe depression, incressed acne, heavy breakthrough periods, mood swings. | This pill was recommnded to my doctor because i am plus size and could not take have the patch. She said it would help my acne and lighten my periods. Although it did indead lighten my period, the side effects were so harsh over time I had to switch. Over time i became severly depressed during random parts of my day. I cried for no reason, and could not seem to lighten my moods. My acne was twice as bad as it had been, especially around the time of my period. I had stopped taking this pill for two months when i was very stressed over work and having 2-3 periods a month, and within a week of not taking Demulen my face seemed much cleaner and my moods better. I did go back on this pill, and the side effects came back just as bad. I have now switched and feel much better. | F | 19 | 8 months 30 1X day | 6/17/2011 | 4 | heavy flow, cramps, moods | I was on alese for 5 months and felt very sick and it didnt really help me with my moods around the time of the month. So I was switched to demulen and straight away I had no more moods but I have missed completly quite alot of my periods out of this year I think ive missed about 8 periods out of 12 and the others have been nothing but light spottting for less than 24 hours. Overall it has helped me alot but can also be quite confusing. | F | 18 | 14 months | 7/10/2009 | 4 | cramps | Weight gain, sex drive is low.More than normal acne a week before my period. | wish i did not not gain the weight. (10 pounds) Do not like the lower sex drive. However my period is 2 days long with very little cramping and so are my mood swings. | F | 27 | 1 years | 8/11/2006 | 3 | to decrease pms | Moodiness -- although this is nothing compared to the anger that Yasmin gave me; incredible fatigue, although that may be because I've been swtiching between different bc pills; increased vaginal discharge. Overall better than other pills that I've tried. | F | 21 | 1 years | 3/12/2006 | 2 | Birth Control | Bleeding twice a month | F | 20 | 1 years | 6/24/2004 | 1 | Contraception/Cramps | Extremely low sex drive, did not take away cramps or breast tenderness. | This is the third pill I have been on in the last several years. I started on this pill because my cramps and breast tenderness were so extreme on the other pills I had tried. Unfortunately, since I began taking this pill, I have absolutely no sex drive. | F | 23 | 1 years | 5/14/2006 | 4 | POF, Early Menopause | Main complaint: no Libido, didn't even want to be touched by my husband. I am no longer on this pill because of the libido problems. Sore breasts, bloating a few days before period Acne Good symptoms (for me): increased breast size, increased appetite, increased weight. | I was put on this to help me get my periods back and stop my ovaries from dying. I have Premature Ovarian Failure and Early Menopause symptoms. This pill brought back my periods and made me gain weight (I was very underweight). This BC pill is the first one that hasn't given me severe mood swings or depression. Wayyy better than Alesse that way. PS: If you're just starting this pill, give it some time!! The first 2 or 3 months can be rough until your body adjusts. | F | 25 | 1.5 years 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 5 | birth control | None. If you miss a pill and have to double up it may cause nausea. | F | 19 | 2 years | 2/24/2005 | 5 | contraceptive, acne, cramps | weight loss(+), lighter periods(+) | I was on this pill for 2 years and it was great, i lost weight, had little appetite, short 3-day light periods, was happy (took tri-cyclen and it made me so emotional), no more cramps, and my skin looked beautiful. I've been off for almost 2 years and am going back on it again - I seemed to have gained a bit of weight since being off of it. | F | 21 | 2 years | 3/27/2009 | 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 | birth control | Taking Demulen 30.
