| 3 | Birth control, hormonal fluctuation | I've was on junel about 3 years ago and was satisfied with it completely. I went off it and got horrible hormonal acne and I'm 28, eat organic, non GMO, etc! My hormone levels were spiking and I had too much testosterone in me. My doctor put me back on junel and upped my dose to higher estrogen and progestin to see if it helps. My boobs have become plumper and tender, I am extremely bloated to where my pants barely button and my scale says I've gained about 5 pounds in a month. I'm gonna give it another 2 months because I've heard these symptoms lessen. Also, my sex drive has not dipped, if anything, it's increased. I was depressed for the first week and a half but now I feel great. I put somewhat satisfied because I happy about everything so far, just angry about he bloating. | F | 28 | 1 days | 3/14/2014 | 3 | Birth Control | Breast have gone up a cup size but now they are always tender. My acne has seem to flair up. No weight gain | F | 16 | 1 months 30 mg 1X day | 2/23/2013 | 3 | Prevent Cysts that occur with ovula | The first 2-3 weeks of taking this pill were hell. I was irritable, angry, no sex drive, my breasts went up a cup size and were tender all the time, and other symptoms such as hemorroids and heartburn (which I'm not sure is related) | After one month of taking this pill, these symptoms went away completely. I got my libido back, my breasts are back to normal (boo) and i feel normal again. I guess you have to give this pill a month for your body to adjust. Any longer than a month I would've switched to another pill. | F | 35 | 2 months 1X day | 9/25/2012 | 3 | To control symptoms of endometriosis | Weight gain | F | 23 | 1 years 1X day | 5/19/2010 | 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 1mg 1X day | 6/24/2021 | 2 | Irregular periods | Third night began having panic attacks. I already have pre existing depression and anxiety so I'm thinking the pill is making it worse. Also insomnia. I could not sleep. Stood up all night. I will try one more night and see how it goes. | F | 37 | 3 days 1X day | 8/27/2020 | 2 | Regulate period | The first 2 years I was on Junel were great. Then I started to have some vaginal dryness. Didn't know how bad it was until I went for a gyno visit and the exam was extremely uncomfortable due to how dry I was down there. I've been having on and off yeast infections since February 2020 and I've had enough of it. I also notice that my mood swings are rough the week before. | This did help regulate my periods and made them lighter. I had very heavy periods and severe cramps before taking. I'm going to go off of it completely for now to see if I can reset my system and get back to normal levels before exploring a different BC option. | F | 27 | 4 years | 5/28/2020 | 2 | Regulate period for IVF | Extreme exhaustion, strong cramping beyond normal first day cramps, heavier bleeding than normal. | F | 39 | 7 days 30mg | 1/29/2020 | 2 | To prevent pregnancy | Started with headaches an stomach cramps. Than my appetite was crazy and I never eat. Bout the 5th day I got a horrible rash on my cheek and stomach. Wouldnt recommend | F | 23 | 6 days 1.5 | 11/20/2017 | 2 | To regulate period | Very bad cramps and light periods which lasted longer than my normal cycle | F | 29 | 40 days 1.5/30 | 10/10/2017 | 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 1X day | 1/23/2014 | 2 | Junel FE 1.5/20 breakthru bleeding | I was put on this higher dose of Junel because I was having continuous bleeding with 1.5/20. I've been on this 1.5/30 dose for a full month and the bleeding not only continued but has gotten heavy - EVERYDAY FOR 30 DAYS! My doc wants me to give it another 60 days :( Does anyone else have this problem? Or did you? I would love to hear other comments about the same experience!! | F | 40 | 1 months | 10/6/2013 | 2 | birth control | worsening fatigue, muscle pains, horrible cramps | Would not take again or recommend to anyone because of the horrible cramps and fatigue. I know everyone is different though, so while this may not have worked for me, it may work for someone else... | F | 24 | 2 months 1X day | 8/27/2011 | 2 | birth control | constant weakness, fatigue. i almost took a sick day one day after "only" 7 hours of sleep instead of the usual 8. no drive, no energy to do anything, always wake up tired. | that's the 2nd week of my 2nd month. will be moving to something else by the end of the pack. | F | 33 | 1.5 months 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 1 | Help with ovarian cysts | Lowered sex drive, anxiety, mood swings, severe vaginal dryness, nausea | I will NEVER recommend this birth control to anyone. The first month I didn't notice much of a change, second month my sex drive was way down, 3rd month I started having mood swings, 4th month I had severe vaginal dryness, irritation, inflammation at vaginal opening (even my cervix was inflamed) & started getting anxiety like I had never experienced before. I have been battling to find out what was going on with me for the last month with tests after tests coming back normal and finally realized it was this birth control. I also have a hard time eating and an even harder time when I'm nauseous (which is almost every day now) along with the anxiety. I wake up with anxiety and nausea now and have been for over a month. I'm down about 10 pounds and some days can hardly hold water down because of the nausea. It has impacted my life so severely I considered getting on anxiety medication because I felt like I was going crazy. No control over my mind or body. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BIRTH CONTROL. | F | 30 | 5 months 1.5/30 1X day | 7/9/2022 | 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 1X day | 5/21/2022 | 1 | Regulate period and help withcramps | I didn't really have any bad side effects to this birth control but I will say it did shorten my period cycle and I bled less | I am currently 22 years old I've been off this birth control for a couple years now and I am having issues getting pregnant | F | 22 | 5 years 30mg 1X day | 6/12/2021 | 1 | regulate period cycle | Became severely anxious and extremely moody. I did not even realize how badly this was affecting me until I finally stopped taking it. It was like magic and I felt like a brand new person. I absoloutely do not recommend this medication - only good thing about it is my periods became lighter and shorter. | F | 22 | 2 years 1X day | 3/2/2021 | 1 | Perimenopausal symptoms | Palpitations, anxiety, mood swings. Totally not me, I stopped taking. | F | 48 | 8 days 30 1X day | 10/13/2020 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | I've been having severe anxiety since I started taking this BC. At first I thought my anxiety and increase mood swings were related to stress due to COVID-19 since I'm an essential personnel however I'm now convinced it's due to this BC. I'm normally very bubbly and full of energy however I've found myself depressed, anxious, increased headaches, irritable, moody, decreased energy, sleeping problem, | This should be taken off the market with as many bad reviews as it has. I will be discontinuing effective tomorrow... and will probably remain off for a while | F | 27 | 0 weeks 1.5/ 30mg 1X day | 7/23/2020 |
