 5  painful periods, prevent pregnancy little nausea at first but that went away after a couple months. I used to have very very painful periods and I would have cramps for at least 3 weeks out of the month. Sore breasts for usually at least 2-3 weeks. Bleeding was also very very heavy and terrible. After taking junel all of that has stopped and now I only get cramps a few days before and during my period and they are very manageable. It also helped with my acne. F 17 4 months

 3  Preventing pregnancy I get really really bad cramps on the first two days of my period which is not normal for me, my period used to last five days now it last three or four. I do get really bad tender breast even when Im not close to my period I still dont know if thats normal to anyone else whos taking this. Is it normal for my breasts to be tender when Im not close to my period? Is this a normal side effect F 18 4 weeks

 5  bled for 26 days on mononessa I have experienced decreased appetite which makes me happy considering I was nervous about the fuss of weight gain. Also, been in a pretty good mood. Haven't noticed it changing that. As well as my sex drive has increased. Great pill so far, hoping I don't jinx myself ;) but hormones work different on everyone just depends on your body. however I recommend it if you were desperate like I was to stop the crazy non stop bleeding.

 3  Stop prolong bleeding & pregnancy I got prescribed Junel Fe 1.5/30 to stop my prolong bleeding from the depo shot that I only took one dose of. I began bleeding February 4th up until April 22. My doctor had me take two pills a day for a week to stop the bleeding which it did. And from then I took one pill a day. I got my period again may 2 and bled until May 8th and have been spotting on and off, then I got my period again may 16th... I thought that this pill was supposed to make your periods lighter and shorter. Cramping isnt horrible. I dont breakout I never do. Doesnt mess with my mood or anything. It just sucks because my sex life has been ruined from the shot and i thought that this pill would make the whole bleeding stop. Ive only been on it for a month so Ill give it some time... F 19 1 months

 1  Pregnancy Prevention I have never experienced both depression and anxiety until I started taking this BC. Due to my anxiety and depression I have had troubling thoughts and struggle sleeping. Sometimes I do not have an appetite for any of my favorite foods. Moreover, I have lost 11 pounds within those 3 months. Lately, I have felt nauseous, angry, anxious, and have been breaking out like crazy. I do not recommend this dosage or brand to anyone. F 19 3 months

 4  prev pregnancy+regulate cycle slightly increased hair loss, low libido, vaginal dryness. I love this medicine! I had bad nausea, headaches, and even vomiting with another hormone BC. This one has given me no severe side effects! I do notice a slight increase in hair loss, but it's not significant. I have almost zero sex drive though, and when I had sex for the first time in 3 months I was extremely dry (combo of low libido causing dryness and this drug directly affecting it) F 20 8 months

 2  Pregnancy prevention Hair falling out, increased anxiety, bouts of severe anger, mood swings My hair has been falling out like crazy for the past two months. I mean globs of my hair are hitting my feet in the shower when I wash my hair, it's constantly on my clothes, furniture, car floor ect. I had thought it was because of stress (my dog died and I went thru a breakup all within two months). However, after finally reading about the side effects of this drug I found out “hair falling out of scalp” is a side effect. My gyneo told me this was the generic for lo loestrin fe which I never had an issue with. I've also been extremely anxious within this past four months and I had never suspected it to be this Junel fe, but again after reading reviews it looks like other people are experiencing this as well. I already suffer from generalized anxiety and I take adderall 45mg daily so I thought it was prob the adderall. I've never been an angry person EVER, however I have a severe temper now! The littlest things will make me go thru the roof, I get overstimulated very easily, and I'm verbally and physically destructive. I would prob just start taking lo loestrin again if it wasn't $300. F 20 4 months

 2  Birth Control Breakthrough Bleeding. Yeast infections. Bacterial Vaginitis. Depression. Problems with Contact Lenses. When I first started Junel, I had mild breakthrough bleeding. I got over that in about three months. Everything went well until about six months ago. I started feeling depressed all the time, just a meh kind of feeling. Then the yeast infections and BV started, alternating every few weeks. I've also had really bad issues with my contacts drying out. I'm thinking of going off the pill after this month to see if it clears everything up. F 20 2 years

 1  prevent pregnancy First month I started noticing some changes in me but ignored it, I just finished my second month pack & I notice I have no sex drive (no interest in sex at all), when I do have sex its quite painful, I'm constantly having terrible mood swings (I do suffer from depression but this is just crazy) & while I have my period, I'm in constant pain & the bleeding is very heavy... I'm contacting my doctor ASAP I do NOT recommend this contraceptive. F 21 2 months

 4  Suppose to be similar to gildess Bad back acne and a little nausea. I was on Glidess for the longest time, then it got recalled and after that I've been on 4 different birth controls and I seriously had to stop taking birth control cause I couldn't find anything. But I went on Nurx and they suggested junel 1.5/30 and I tried junel 1/20 so I was scared I was gonna have the same side effects but luckily I've been loving junel 1.5/30, i like the fact i dont have to take pills for a week and my period comes immediately. I'm not moody not as hungry my sex drive is still the same, but my acne on my back hurts so bad and I'm giving it more time to even out. But other then that I'm actually enjoying this birth control.

 1  Birth Control I would took this birth control for 3 months and had to stop. I went to the emergency room for the first time in my life because of it. I had severe pain and after several tests and a few ours of agonizing pain later they came to me and told me "we need to rush you into surgery" I was diagnosed with a severe case of gallstones. I had to get my gallbladder removed. I have tried to sue over it but every lawyer I talk to says there has to be a group case of this to be able to sue the company but I will not stop and I want all of you to no DONT TAKE IT!! I hope no one else goes through what I did. F 22 3 months
