 1  To stop heavy bleeding severe cramping, mild mood changes (feeling weepy), mild acne on chest I have not been on hormonal birth control since 1995. My GYN prescribed this birth control as a taper to stop a bout of heavy bleeding (likely relate to my fibroids). I was not supposed to get a period until I finished the second pack of pills. My period began three days ago and although it is light, the menstrual cramping is unreal! I haven't had cramps like this since I was a teenager. I plan to discontinue use ASAP! F 44 4 weeks

 1  Scary pill. Severe anxiety, depression, insomnia, suicidal thoughts and acne This pill did a number on me and very quickly. I started worrying about little things which literally kept me awake all night. I started having panic attacks shortly after and severe depression. The depression got so bad I started having suicidal thoughts. I stopped taking it a week ago and am still trying to recover from these symptoms along with the cystic acne it caused. F 29 1 months

 1  Birth control I started taking this pill because my GP told me it was the generic they had available for Loestrin 24FE (that I love!). Within less than a month, I showed extreme PMS depression, acne on my chest (I've never been prone to acne) that I still cannot get rid of, and I've gained 7 pounds. If I gain wait, it's usually over the course of a few months, not over a couple weeks. All side effects very atypical for my body. Going to see a new gyno soon and stopping this pill once my pack ends. F 29 2 months

 1  regulate periods EXTREME night sweats (had to get up and change clothes in the middle of the night), gained 16 pounds, felt sluggish/irritable, chronic constipation, EXTREMELY BLOATED everyday (not just on my period), then Jan 5, 2015 I had a MAJOR PAIN in my liver area (I couldn't walk spouse had to carry me to the car). I was diagnosed as having MULTIPLE LARGE LIVER CYSTS in the Emergency room that night Later I found out that I also have liver cancer and these cysts will never go away. The cancer has not changed and I am being watched by an oncologist with CT scans every 6 months. LIVER CYSTS is listed #4 on their side effects of this drug. Just took 3 months and now I have liver cancer and cysts just because western medicine doesn't know how to help women regulate periods naturally. I am SICK and in pain frequently and have been told that nothing can be done for my condition. I also have pain on the left temple of my head and have suffered with chronic, reoccurring styes and chalazions in my I would NEVER recommend birth control pills to women. Estrogen kills women.....look at the increased levels of breast, cervical, ovarian cancer. Our food supply is full of estrogen in our meat supply and soy is an estrogen and in EVERYTHING. Please pay attention and avoid estrogen...BC increases estrogen to dangerous levels for women that cause future damage. F 3 months

 1  Birth control I always felt like a swollen tick, I was tired all the time, grumpy and always arguing with my fiancé. This is the first time I have ever been on birth control and it was the worst experience ever. I stopped taking it today and feel so much better. I was having headaches every day. I felt like I couldn't move or have the energy to get out of bed. I didn't want to do anything and I was never satisfied with anything. Just over all horrible. F 26 1 weeks

 1  Birth control, period cramps Bad acne break outs. The pill makes me feel depressed and anixous. I'm restless and gaining weight. My breast are always tender. My periods last forever and the blood is brown no longer red. I'm very dizzy all the time and nauseas every morning. I wouldn't reccomend this pill. It drains me and I'm always tired. If I dont eat with my pill I feel extremely sick the next morning. I threw up from it and it was so painful. F 18 1 months

 1  Prevent ovarian cysts & pregnancy From day 1 I have been constantly spotting, never a day where I do not bleed, even just a little bit. "Breakthrough" bleeding as the doctor and PA have called it. I also have noticed I am extremely fatigued, no matter if I get a full 8 hours of sleep at night, I am exhausted whenever I wake up in the morning. I also have nausea, bloating, and bad cramping. The doctor has recommended me to not take the placebo pills, aka withdrawal pills, he is looking to stop my period to see if it will stop the cysts from arising. I have not been back to see him, but have made several phone calls and him and his PA have both assured me that I need to take it for a full three months to get the full benefit of the birth control. After bleeding for almost two months straight, I am pretty much SICK AND TIRED of this. I have considered changing OB's and getting another doctors opinion. Before this, I was not on any kind of birth control due to the severe side effects I had while I had the Mirena. F 24 6 weeks

 1  Endometriosis Swollen breast, nausea, mood swings, no sexual desire at all! I started levora on 12April and on 19 April I was bleeding, it is now 27 June and I have bled everyday since! My dct told me its normal and if it continues after 2 months come in. Well now they say I need to give the pills another month, but along with the bleeding I am now having stomach pains. Oh and let's not forget the reason I am using this pill to try and help with my pain from the endometriosis well guess what the pain is WORSE! I wake up screaming/crying and damn near falling over b/c the pain is so intense! I HATE this pill and today decided to not take another pill until I see the dct!!! F 35 3 months

 1   Acne, significant weight gain, moodiness, depression, severe anxiety, fatigue, feeling sadness. I've never had acne even as a teenager. Now it's on my back, chest and face. I eat a clean diet and workout 4 days per wk, cardio and weight training yet consistently have gained weight since on Levora. Anxiety was terrible, although no feelings of worry it gave me panic attacks where I was short of breathe with heart racing for almost a week. I ended up in the ER. I would NOT recommend this pill. F 30 8 months
