| 2 | Regulate cycles | In just a week I've experienced extreme fatigue and crying for no reason. I'm going to give things a month but so far, not impressed | F | 43 | 0 days 1X day | 8/23/2020 | 1 | birth control, period regulation | Ive only been taking levora for a month but so far it hasn't done me any good.I've been switched around from birth control to birth control this year .I was on ortho tri cyclen for 7 months and was having very bad mood swings and weird symptoms so I was switched to levora but I haven't had a good experience with it, I feel extremely fatigued, tired,and lazy I have absolutely no energy when usually I'm very active and insomnia at night so no sleep!! Ive also been having uncontrollable rage, mood swings,depression, and increased anxiety. I have gotten a lot of acne aswell when my skin is usually clear and my pms is far worse I was so extremely Moody, fatigued, lazy and down on my period.I plan on switching but it's so hard to find a good birth control. | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/18/2012 | 1 | reg periods | Depressed, anxious, irrtable, nauses, tired, | I began taking Levora because the advice nurse prescibed it and thought it would be fine. I already have children and didnt want to take any chances of possibly having any more at this time. I am currently on Levora as i type this. I came across this web-site becuase i googled my systems and this page came up. I just dont know what the heck is wrong with me. I am yelling at my boyfriend and i keep doing thinking he's cheating when he has not even changed his daily pattern with me, he say Im bugging out. I dont have any tollerance for anything at this time, not even my children, I cry about every little thing even sad movies and horrible night time news stories ( which is not like me at all) I ask my doctor to switch me to Yaz, this is my last night on Levora. Then mabe my family and friends wont hate me anymore. I will never ever in my life take Levora again!!!! | F | 28 | 1 days | 6/7/2007 | 1 | birth control | I feel tired all the time no energy at all!! This pill really sucks! | F | 27 | 1 days | 11/22/2014 | 1 | balance hormones, stop bleeding | Dr started me on 3 pills a day for 3 days, then two pills for 4 days, then,2 pill daily. I have been feeling like I am going to vomit all day, no energy, really bad stomach pain and continued bleeding. | F | 37 | 2 days .15 30-28 | 10/17/2014 | 1 | to balance my hormones | Bad anxiety and vomiting in the morning i would not recommend this for anybody with anxiety or depression | F | 38 | 6 days .15.03 | 10/4/2014 | 4 | period regulation, birth control | Nausea, stomach problems, acne, I just stopped taking depo provera so automatically I have a heep of symptoms and side effects yet on levora all I had was 3 added on which is not bad compared to what depo did to me. Hopefully when my cell effects wear off in a few months my levora side effects will subside like it did when I was on another pill I love it so far drop also stopped my menstration so idk about that yet...I recommend this BC method over all others | F | 19 | 7 days once a day | 2/10/2013 | 2 | Birth control | Fatigue, anxiety, dry, painful intercourse, lack of sex drive | I took this pill for 8 years. No weight gain and breasts remained the same. I had no problems for years but as I grew older I realized my body changing. I developed GAD whether it was from this pill though I'm not sure. I was also constantly tired and had no motivation to do anything. Sex also became painful because this pill made me so dry. Didnt matter though since I had no sex drive anyway. It was interfering with my relationship. Why take a pill for birth control if you don't want to have sex? I switched pills and my drive is back. Had breakthrough bleeding while taking Zenchent so now I'm trying another pill | F | 25 | 8 days 30 mg | 8/16/2015 | 5 | Birth Control | Not really any. I actually got a little hungrier on the pill but besides that nothing really noticeable. I don't feel any different and my libido didn't change ;) | F | 17 | 15 days 0.15/30 1X day | 8/6/2012 | 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 | 4/26/2016 | 5 | Prescribed to me by doctor as request | I like it and my breasts have grown a cup and a half since and its only been 2 weeks. I take it at 10pm at night so I go right to bed so I never have any nausea or any like that. No mood swings really maybe I get teary eyed over sad things but I don't know if that just me or the pill so I can't blame the pill. So far so good, but everyone is different. I would let you know you should take your pill at night before bed. good luck to all of you! :) | F | 31 | 2 weeks 1X day | 9/22/2013 | 3 | BC | Within the second week of taking this pill i have been feeling down and overly anxious about little things. Just these last three days i've cried without a clear reason why, just because i was feeling 'sad'. I will continue to use it and see how it goes. I've also been watching what i eat for possible weight gain...and i have been bleeding since taking the pill yet it is barely turning into spotting. Not a good experience but it is my first time on birth control. I'm not a fan of any medication--even if it has to be taken on a daily basis but it has to be done. | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 2/25/2013 | 5 | Irregular circle | After 2 1/5 weeks of taking Levora I experienced terrible side effects such as strong headaches, shortness of breath and worst of all very acute chest pain. I am a healthy woman, in good physical condition and I work out 3 times a week. I have never experienced any of these side effects before taking Lavora. The acute chest pain was very scary and painful! I immediately stopped this birth control and all the side effects succumbed. I had a CT scan to check for any possible blood clot. Doctors should be much more cautious and more responsible when prescribing birth controls. Dr do not stress the fact that there is an alarming list of “warnings” on the label. My dr told me that I was not at risk because the risk is blood clots are much higher for smokers and women who are sedentary. My dr prescribed this bc without any blood work done to verify if I had any genetic predisposition to develop blood cloth. I was very disappointed in my doctor and her lack of care! Please be aware, Lavora is a very dangerous birth control and should be removed by the FDA. | Please do NOT take this birth control! | F | 45 | 3 weeks | 3/11/2018 | 3 | prevention of pregnancy and cramp r | I started taking this because my cycle dramatically changed. I have been taking it for 3 weeks now. I am nauseous and dizzy all the time (although I haven't thrown up yet), very irritable and emotional, I get cramps for no reason, and my breasts hurt more than usual. The only thing the pill has helped is my skin and I haven't gained or lost weight, it continues to fluctuate between 120-125. | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 4/8/2014 | 2 | Regulate my periods | Over sleeping, headaches when awake, super moody! | I am on my 3rd week of levora and these past 2 weeks I have been wanting to do nothing but sleep and when I'm awake I just have a horrible headache and I won't take anything for it. Also, I argue with my boyfriend or cause a fight with him over nothing lately and I've been super stressed and depressed over it. This is my first time back on birth control since everything else I've tried I've had horrible reactions to. This is the first time trying the pill and I don't really like it much. I can say I'm thankful that I haven't bled at all yet, but that kind've worries me after some of the reviews I've read. | F | 20 | 3 weeks | 8/31/2015 | 1 | pregnancy prevention | Sore breasts, mild acne, weight gain, anger, irritability, nervousness, anxiety, and anger, increased libido! Levora makes me feel rage, and it also makes me break out. My breasts grew one size. I can't wait to get off this pill. I tried YAZ four years ago, and I loved that pill. | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 3/6/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | Immediate weight gain and yeast infections! | I've been on Levora for 3 weeks. I switched from Alesse because my doctor recommended that I take the next dose up to shorten my periods. I wish I hadn't! Within 3 weeks I've gained 4 pounds, I'm working out at the gym 3 days a week and still gaining! I've just discovered I have a yeast infection and now I have to go back to the doctor for that! I'm going back to Alesse next week! | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 2/3/2008 | 3 | prevent pregnancy | WEIGHT GAIN! I gained 1 pound every week since I got on it. My appetite has grown & I keep having night mares wake up crying! Stay away you will gain weight . Just helps because I get no nausea just the first pill of the month makes me throw up. | F | 19 | 4 weeks | 1/15/2013 | 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 1X day | 4/14/2018 | 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 1X day | 3/4/2014 |
