 1  irregular cycles This drug caused a mini stroke . I experienced a mini stroke after the first seven days , then hand-knobbing, blurred vision migraines in 7 day intervals until I stopped. I was driving during one. I still . migraines because I took this drug. I took it in 1986 I learned triggers for migraines , and no drugs later, am now 45 and every period, and ovulation brings on a new set of migraines. This drug kick started migraines therefore ruining my hormonal balance for life. F 45 60 days

 1  PMS, cramps and Migraines Nausea, weight gain, SEVERE depression and anxiety, rage, extreme fatigue, intense cravings for fast food, uncontrollable sobbing My doctor thought this pill might help with my severe cramps and menstrual migraines. Within 2 days I was nauseous all the time but the worst part was that I am usually a positive, social, happy, motivated and active person and I felt heavy and exhausted and I was so depressed that I started having suicidal thoughts and felt completely hopeless. I gave it a few more days, hoping my body would adjust, and had to stop because I felt like I didn't want to live anymore and my outlook and perspective were purely pessimistic. I was extremely anxious, my heart was racing and I felt nervous and uncomfortable and didn't want to leave my house or talk to anyone. Also I eat a micronutrient-dense diet, always healthy, don't eat grains and suddenly I had crazy obsessive cravings for McDonalds and Taco Bell, neither of which I've visited in about a decade! I stopped taking the pill yesterday and I'm still very depressed and tired. F 39 4 days

 1  Birth Control increase in anxiety, loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, yeast infections I was on Necon 777 for two months as a primary form of birth control. During that time, on the third week of the pill (highest dose), I would feel an increase in anxiety, extreme vaginal dryness and I got a pretty bad yeast infection. This happened twice in a row. The symptoms drove me crazy until I figured out it was my BCP, so I hope this helps any woman who may experience these same symptoms on this formulation. F 29 56 days

 1  menstrual problems gallbladder removal 4 months after taking ne-con. no gallstones. irregular periods. some months heavy bleeding, one month no bleeding at all. spotting after period. lower libido. breast tenderness first couple of months. I have never had stomach or digestive problems in the past. I do not know of any family members who have a history of gall bladder problems. Just 4 months after taking the necon birth control pills,(to help with extreme heavy bleeding) I suddenly had an acute gallbladder attack which resulted in having it removed. I have since read that estrogen is a possible culprit in gallbladder problems. hmmmmm... I recommend finding another solution! F 48 4 months

 1  birth control/regulate periods I have been on ortho novum 777 for 2 years. I get nauceous, headaches and constipation. This pill helps me to have shorter periods, not even an entire day. I have been on orthotricyclene which made me have the same symptoms i described above, but also to have vomiting and larger breasts. Which would be ok, if i wasnt already a DD. I was on yaz and lost my hearing. I have tried many types of b/c and have decided today that i am going to stop birth control all together. if anyone has any questions feel free to email me at [email protected] F 31 2 years
