| 5 | Severe Period Pain/PMS | In the beginning- some spotting and seemed I had a period twice in a month. I am taking 3 weeks of the pack, then skipping the last week (placebo) as it is not for birth control. On and off erratic spotting for about 4-6 months. The hardest part is making sure you take it at the EXACT same time each day. I have an alarm set on my phone and make sure I have the pill with me when I am out. This makes a big difference with spotting. | Miracle Drug for me. I was worried about the constant spotting at first- but then realized compared to the severe and debilitating periods I have been having for about 20 years now- I would take it! Eventually my body adjusted, and I think I have had 2-3 periods this entire year. My first real period was longer than usual- and heavy. I was crampy, but not in the usual severe pain. The next 2 were so light I was not sure it was an actual period. I don't think I have had a period in 6 months and am LOVING life. I not longer suffer from anxiety thinking about how my upcoming period will ruin my plans or cause me to call out of work. Because I am not planning on having any more children and have blood clots in my leg, this pill is perfect for my situation. My quality of life has drastically improved. Before my doctor prescribed this- I was asking for a hysterectomy. That's how tired I was of being in pain all the time. I have NO other side effects at this point that I notice. I have zero PMS symptoms, have lost weight, and feel like a new person. Highly recommended for those who are looking for relief from period pain | F | 40 | 1 years 1X day | 7/19/2012 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | I went on this new pill because I started having problems with my BP after my pregnancy. I have been taking ortho-tricyclin since I was 16, and the idea of switching didn't make me comfortable. But in the past 25 days, I have been waking up with neck pain and headaches, having problems with random, severe nausea, and I am breaking out like I am a teenager again. Because of these things I looked it up and found this site, and WOW, what a pill. I go to my OB in three days and I am switching back to my old pill, and I will deal with my high BP in another way. | Don't bother with this pill. | F | 29 | 25 days 1X day | 7/14/2012 | 1 | Ease periods | Acne, dizziness, anxiety, and constant cramping. I am so angry with my doctor after reading these comments! She gave it to me because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the injection while abroad for 3 months and was nervous about having my period for the 1st time since being on the needle; I started after a month of being here and thought I was experiencing culture shock all over again! I am getting off this today anything sounds better! It's ruining my experience abroad! | F | 22 | 2 weeks 30 mg | 7/10/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Numbness, severe timgling in legs, feet hands, arms, severe dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rapid weight gain, severe anxiety, loss of sleep, severe calf pain, no period at all | PLEASE READ ALL SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS AND CONSIDER THEM VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE DECIDING TO TAKE THIS MED!! I started this for birth control and by the middle of the second packet I felt so horrible I thought I was having a stroke. Ended up at the doctor's office twice in one week. THIS PILL IS TOO DANGEROUS!! | F | 47 | 45 days 035 mg. 1X day | 7/7/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Weight gain 15 lbs in 45 days, anxiety, irritability, hungry all the time, swelling feet, tingling/weakness/numbness in the arms/legs, severe migraines, anger, loss desire in sex, acnes, dizziness, nauseas, tire all the time. Already missed an entire week of work because of migraine. This DAMM medicine is a silent KILLER!!!! | After six week of having my baby I went back to my normal weight of 145 lbs. But after I start it taking this pill my clothes now does not fit me. This silent killer should be recall for GOOD. Instead of doing something good for us women is killing us slowly. | F | 35 | 46 days 1X day | 6/28/2012 | 1 | Breastfeeding | Anxiety!!!!!! Horrid anxiety at night (I took the pill at 8pm) Parinoia, anger, fatigue. | F | 28 | 2 months 1time a da | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Depression, crying easily, restless legs, lowered sex drive and who knows what else that I just didn't realize micronor was causing! | I overcame severe clinical depression years ago, and when I started micronor I thought I was spiraling downward. I began to lose hope that I'd ever live a normal life. I cry every night, feel restless and hopeless, not to mention there is zero intimacy in my marriage. My mom asked me if I'd made any changes lately, such as a new pill (she' a nurse) and thank god for her. I looked up micronor and depression and found this site. Thank everyone who rated this drug. I'm stopping this pill tonight. I also noted that many woman got this from planned parenthood, as I did. They need to seriously work on their provided information. If you've had any of these side effects, stop this pill ASAP! | F | 27 | 2 months 1X day | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Anxiety, paranoia, depression, low self-esteem and self worth, feeling disconnected from everyone, socially isolating myself because of the above. Just not feeling myself for a long time now, and I just want the old me back. I've been moody, grumpy. a bit possessive and paranoid. No issues with random bleeding, in fact my periods have been pretty regular, but quite painful. And I seem to get a constant period like pain even when I'm not on my period. Acne, greasy hair and just generally look terrible! My boobs have decreased in size slightly, and get quite tender towards my period. Slight weight gain. However I don't need to worry about getting pregnant because my sex drive is non-existent!! | Started taking Micronor after my blood pressure was raised on the combined pill, and was told I was no longer recommended to take it (especially as I have a family history of stroke). I have spent the past year or so thinking I have some real issues, I've been to see counsellors etc. Thinking back, I was absolutely fine before I started this blasted pill! I just want to get back to normal and feel the urge to have sex with my boyfriend, that's the worst side-effect in my opinion!! | F | 23 | 2 years 30 1X day | 6/19/2012 | 1 | Contraceptive, migraines | Severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, intense anger, road rage, loss of interest in sex, loss of focus/ memory/ cognition, low self-esteem, bruising on legs (bumps haven't gone away in months), no patience, very fatigued ALL the time, yawn constantly, cry easily, pounding head, eye pressure, sweaty, restless legs, acne on face, chest, back, neck, butt; breasts seem deflated. | I feel like a complete fool for not researching this pill (or any bc pill for that matter) beyond what limited info I got from Planned Parenthood and the pamphlet that the company provides. My life has been a struggle since starting hormonal contraceptives and I plan on quitting for good. The side effects have only gotten worse over time and I truly believe that if I were to continue, I'd be committing a slow suicide thats been ok'd by the FDA. Getting a copper coil instead. Synthetic hormones do damage, period. Looking forward to getting myself back! | F | 30 | 1.5 years 0.35 mg 1X day | 6/17/2012 | 1 | breastfeeding. | Moody, cramps, bleeding | F | 32 | 7 days | 6/17/2012 | 2 | Contraceptive | lactating while not pregnant, migraines, blurred vision, fatigue, constant hunger | F | 24 | 20 days 30 1X day | 6/11/2012 | 5 | birthcontrol | For women who dont know this micronor doesnt regulate your period. Its not for that . You're doctor should have explained that before you started taking it. I take it for having hi blood pressure, I haven't had any problems on it . Nor have I gotten pregnant. I recommend this if you have migraine problems or high blood pressure . | F | 19 | 8 months | 6/8/2012 | 1 | Bc | Ok at first, period lasted 2 days, then a wk later continuous spotting for approx 2+ weeks, very difficult to be able to be intimate with bf due to non stop spotting. | F | 34 | 2 months .35mg | 6/7/2012 | 1 | BC and Migraines | Weight gain 60 lbs (running, dieting cant lose any) Mood swings ( depression, anger, all over the place) Lose of sex drive VERY oily face Currently period 2 weeks long and counting. but have gone more then a month or 2 without any body aces (back, chest, legs ect) tender breast lots of vaginal discharge Cant get any other kind cause of Complicated Basilar Migraines. Talking over with common-law about stopping. Worst Medication ever. I would LOVE to be able to go on another kind....I don't recommend this Pill | F | 21 | 2 years 35 1X day | 6/3/2012 | 1 | Contraceptive | Moooooddiness. Anxiety. Depression. pain in legs/numbness. ACNE! UGH! hair growth. Ruined my skin! GAIN SO MUCH WEIGHT and then when i was eating health exercising to lose weight it was relativiely impossible to lose any lbs. Contantly feeling tired and useless. Honestly the worst pill anyone can take. Took it for high blood pressure,but i swear it was giving me high blood pressure. | I can not believe doctors still recomend this pill to woman. Should be banned from the market. They should make commercials about this pill like the scary YAZ ones on TV. | F | 25 | 3 months 30mg 1X day | 6/2/2012 | 2 | Birth control/Migraines with aura | I have been taking this pill for a little over a month and at first everything seemed alright. I had experienced bad mood swings with the 2 previous pills I had been on with estrogen. At first I thought my mood had improved with micronor but now I'm starting to have angry outbursts again and I'm feeling very depressed/disconnected from everyone. I have been very tired the last few days but I am not sure yet if it is from the pill. I have not had any bleeding yet, which may seem like a good thing, but I would rather have my period regularly so that I know I'm not pregnant. For that reason alone I would not stop taking the pill, but if the moodiness/depression continues I would rather take the risk of getting pregnant than keep dealing with the side effects. | F | 21 | 1 months 1X day | 5/27/2012 | 1 | Breast feeding | Anxiety really bad, crying none stop, snapping at just about everyone over anything. Bloated like crazy, cramping none stop. Angry like no other when I a really happy quiet person even yelled at my mom today which I have never done. This was my first time ever on the pill and I don't even think I was this bad with my Two pregnancies. | F | 27 | 10 days 0.35 | 5/23/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Loss of sex drive, bacteria vaginosis (BV), extreme vaginal dryness, extremelly painful breasts, acne all over my entire body, extreme mood swings. | After being off of this pill for 10 months, breasts don't hurt anymore, acne has mellowed out, moods have regulated. I still do not have sex drive. Still have vaginal dryness that keeps causing BV infections. It seems like this pill has "kicked" my body into perimenopause. It SUCKS!!!! Do NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I was online looking to see if this company has been sued yet. | F | 34 | 4 months 1X day | 5/21/2012 | 1 | Bc | Pain in legs and hip, constant bleeding and cramping, mood swings, weight gain. I hate this pill. Worst one I've ever taken. apparently Planned Parenthood must have an agreement with this company. This pill is not for everyone and it is the only one they will put me on. Would rather risk getting pregnant than dealing with the constant pain and bleeding. | F | 43 | 3 months 1d | 5/18/2012 | 1 | Aura Migraines | I can't believe I took it this long and never looked up side effects! I'm crying seeing I'm not crazy after all!! I had another nasty fight with my BF and we were almost broken up again! I act insane with anger mod swings alcohol makes it way worse. One sec I'm fine next I'm furious! I also put on about 20 lbs this last year and really since I started it slowly added up. My back and chest break out which never used to happen. My scalp breaks out too and my hair gets oily and thin! I have only had one migraine since on it which is the only plus. Seeing how it has destroyed me as a women not worth it! | I read these comments to my BF and he is happy to have me get off it. I hope these side effects go away quick, it's been a tough 3 yrs! Weight is hard to lose, and I'm tired of always being tired and angry all the time. I used to be so positive and sweet. I will post up again in a few weeks to see if I feel better. | F | 27 | 3 years 1X day | 5/16/2012 |
