Terrible pill! I wish I would have paid attention to the reviews... I thought no, not me... but it hit bad! I was already suffering with a debilitating condition of costcondritis, finally getting some relief from my chiro, and then this hit me like a freight train. Highly advise not to take this pill... I have no kids and am not breastfeeding.. progesterone sucks! If you are on this pill and feel like the world is coming to an end, I did too! Stop it now! | F | 26 | 10 months Normal | 12/8/2016 | 1 | contraceptive | Weight gain 7lbs, constant hunger for unhealthy foods, constantly tired and feeling like a zombie, depression, anxiety, wicked temper, insomnia, larger breasts but very painful, covered in itchy angry red acne on jaw line and neck. | This pill should be removed from the shelf it's horrible!!! Had regular monthly periods with no spotting (the only plus with this pill). I took this pill for 3 months and was gradually sinking deeper and deeper into a black hole. I was tired all the time and very lethargic, couldn't be bothered to do anything other than sit on couch and watch tv. My children think I've turned in to some sort of monster as I'm constantly screaming at them! The slightest thing that is not straight forward makes the red mist decend!!! I am so glad I found this page and now I know I'm not going mad. Will be stopping this pill straight away as its turning me into a psychopath and I'm normally a happy go lucky person.

I stopped this pill this week (and not for another pill) and have never felt better- pill free at last! | F | 32 | 6 years 350mcg | 10/22/2016 | 1 | Birth control | I was recommended to come off cilest pill which I'd been on since I was 16 , they told because of my age 37 that I hold come off it as high risk of breast cancer , stroke , etc . They recommened this mini pill micronor but I'm not getting on well with at all I had two heavy periods , my breasts are very sore , so much so I can't sleep on my side for long , my calves and legs are aching and painful and this scares me as my dad nearly died of DVT . Other side effects are increased anxiety & panic attacks my mum is schizophrenic so mental health issues run in my family , headaches and shooting pains in my pelvis ovary area . I have fibroids & pelvis inflammatory disease and this is making it worse . | I am going to make a doctors appointment as I feel I should come off it as not happy at all with how it making me feel . I don't feel like myself at all | F | 37 | 4 months 1X day | 8/14/2016 | 4 | estrogen contraceptive altnerative | I had to switch to micronor due to the higher risk of stroke and possibly having had minor strokes while using combination pills. When I started the pill I was bleeding a lot and heavily which was not common for me. I also experienced cramps and breast soreness for the first time. It has leveled out for me and now I have grown two cup sizes larger (bonus), no weight gain issues, no severe depression, higher sex drive, appetite the same. Nothing really negative except the occasional random bleeding events. These may be tied to the times where I have missed taking the pill by greater than 2 hours. | Might be giving me mood issues and pms but I have been on contraception for ten years so who knows anymore. | F | 26 | 10 months 1X day | 7/14/2016 | 5 | Birth Control | Missed or very light periods. Haven't had a regular flow since I began taking (not a bad thing). Occasional sore breasts. Slightly decreased sex drive and lubrication. Not enough to cause an issue. | Overall no major issues. I can't take combination pills due to migraine with aura. My migraines have actually decreased since taking this. Overall, very happy with this medicine. | F | 29 | 1 years 0.35mg | 6/26/2016 | 1 | Contraception | Bloating nausea mood wings emotional wreck paranoid back pain irregular bleeding stomach cramps exhaustion | How is this on the market. So glad I came on here I've been a wreck and it's obviously because of this pill. I keep weighing myself as I'm so bloated!! I nearly split with my partner as I was convinced he didn't want me. I felt fat and gross. I feel so sick and got pains in ky stomach and back I've barely left the house in the last 2 weeks!!! I've been depressed in the past so just blamed myself bt with all the other symptoms it's obviously the pill. Don't feel myself at all just want to sleep. No patience with my kids. Nt taking another one now just hope it gets out if system quickly | F | 37 | 7 weeks | 5/31/2016 | 3 | Nursing / birth control | Nausea all day every day Daily cramping Erratic periods Increased headaches Itchy Arma Increased hair growth | I have taken micronor following all 3 of my pregnancies. Always feel like I'm stuck somewhere between getting my period and pregnant. | F | 30 | 4 years | 5/22/2016 | 1 | Contraceptive | Amenorrhea (no period), mood swings, anxiety, depression, nausea, cramping, decreased sex drive, cystic acne, rashes. | I had never taken this birth control before. It was recommended because I was breastfeeding, and we are not planning on having more children (we have 3). I have been taking it for a little over 3 months now and have noticed that overall I do not 'feel like my self'. I started feeling distant with my husband, my children, etc. Not wanting sex, when my sex drive is normally very high (at least daily). Not wanting to spend the time with my children (whom I love SO much) doing the things we normally did. I noticed my skin was changing too. My skin is generally perfect, but now I spontaneously get an itchy rash in areas (typically my face and neck). I also have been getting cystic acne on my face. I felt a change in my self and was unable to explain why -down, sad, moody,unmotivated, fatigued. I started searching out possible answers, and it wasn't until I came here that I saw other women were experiencing the same thing! I am stopping this pill immediately. | F | 32 | 3 months | 5/11/2016 | 1 | For birth control | Bad weight loss, blurred vision, depression, anxiety, itchy skin, vaginal itching, panic attacks, mood swings, constant bladder irritation,sore chest | The worst side effect was the weightless as I am a 5ft n 8 stone before taking it since taking it I have dropped below 7st it makes me feel disgusting every birth control pill has done the same to my weight no matter how much I eat it just will not put weight on. I'm currently not taking it due to the side effects | F | 31 | 2 years 30 | 4/30/2016 | 1 | Contraception | Oily skin, tender breasts, severe mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, disconnection from loved ones, panic attacks, periods every week, low self esteem I was advised by Dr to take this mini pill as I was having issues with the other pill and two fittings of the coil had failed. The first cycle I was fine, still my happy self, very out going, very confident, high sex drive, regular period then that's when things took a downward spiral. | I noticed I had got very clingy to my boyfriend constantly looking for reassurance that he loved me and wanted to be with me which is very unlike me and nothing had changed then I started getting a period every single week. It started with a 7 day long periodwhich was unusual for me usually lasting 3-4 days and then after spotting half way through the week I got another period. Ever since then, every week I have bled sunday-wednesday, spotting Friday and the whole thing starts again. This itself already lowered my self esteem. My sex drive dropped as I felt so self conscious and paranoid my boyfriend would find me disgusting despite him reassuring me he didnt. Then my mood plummeted. I have always experienced anxiety but never depression and I think I only got it mildly so I feel for anyone suffering from full blow depression. I was experiencing suicidal thoughts, I had a panic attack when out with my boyfriend and we had to leave immediately which worried him. I couldn't see anyway out of how I was feeling I just constantly wanted to sleep so I didn't feel anything and I was always without fail heartbroken upon waking in a morning knowing I was going to have to endure it again. One morning I contemplated leaving work to isolate myself from everything as I felt I could not cope with anything. I will not take another Micronor pill again and I don't even want to take the risk with anything else containing hormones so I will try for the non hormonal coil once again. | F | 19 | 4 months 30 1X day | 4/26/2016 | 2 | Contraceptive/ period problems | Headaches, extreme period pains, extreme mood swings and feeling sick, I had extremely heavy periods the first 3 months of taking it now I feel although I'm pregnant all the time | F | 16 | 6 months | 4/18/2016 | 1 | To regulate my cycles. Drs advice. | Severe anxiety and panic. Social anxiety. Depression. No appetite. Nausea and vomiting. Feeling of overall doom and gloom. | I have a history of anxiety. Never have I felt such crippling effects from it though. I was always able to talk myself out of a panic attack which I can now say we're only ever mild attacks. I experienced my first full blown panic attack about a month ago and was sure that it was the end for me. I finally did come out of it, but only time helped. I was unable to calm myself. I have always been a very happy and social person and this drug robbed me of that too. It came to a head while my husband and I were on a cruise recently. I was barely able to leave the room and was crying for hours on end. I had lost all interest in everything! Thank God I figured it out because after only 3 days of stopping this poison, I was myself again. Truly a miracle because I don't know where I would be right now. I hope this helps others who may be experiencing similar symptoms :) | F | 43 | 3 months | 4/16/2016 | 2 | Doctor recommendation | Low sex drive, breakout in spots, heavy discharge | I was previously on the depo which worked well for me for years however, I started to bleed every single day non-stop and my doctor recommended I change my contraception. After a few months mircronor does seem to have solved this problem as I havent had a period for 2 months but my sex drive is non existent. It has started to cause problems in my relationship and I need to change asap. | F | 25 | 6 months 1X day | 4/12/2016 | 5 | Cannot take combined pill | When I started taking micronor I had light bleeding for about three weeks. I then had a regular period but now in the last 6 months I don't have a period anymore. If I do forget a pill then it causes me to ovulate which I am feel and then two weeks later I will get a very short period and some breast tenderness. However, if I take it correctly this pill is amazing for myself. And since taking it my migraines have subsided. | F | 16 | 1 years | 3/31/2016 | 1 | Birth control | Anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks, trembling, agitation, suicidal thoughts | My GP suggested this as I can't take the combined Pill, and Feanolla made me agitated and unwell. For the first few days, I thought it would be fine. Since then, though, I have started to feel paranoid, angry, tearful and generally revolting. I am ridiculously clingy with my boyfriend (which he hates, not least as it's not 'me'), and am constantly seeking reassurance from him. Every tiny joke sends me over the edge. I am shaking from head to toe, as If I have drunk a litre of coffee. I spent an hour crying this afternoon, wondering how I could get through the remaining minutes of the day. I am having a stressful time at the moment, but I think this is both disproportionate and out of character, as I am normally a very happy and relaxed person. I didn't take my pill this morning, hoping that I would feel instant elation (as I did when I stopped Feanolla), but no difference so far - so now wondering how long it takes to get out of one's system. Please, please let it be soon. No more hormonal contraception for me. | F | 44 | 10 days 1X day | 3/27/2016 | 1 | high blood pressure, birth control | anxiety, extreme moodiness, acne, greasy skin, tired, cramping and bleeding | Put on this pill as birth control following having my son. So far i am really unhappy on this pill. Feel like my mind is foggy and i feel angry at the smallest thing. Also cramping and having bleeding. Will be stopping taking it. | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 3/24/2016 | 1 | Birth control | Depression,anxiety,sad,irritability,mood swings | I was put on this pill because of my age and fine at the start. Then my mood changed drastically, from being fine to totally depressed,I dreaded getting out of bed in a morning and couldn't think why. My relationship nearly failed and I was irritable most of the time.On reflection I took myself off this pill and have never looked back,I feel I have found myself again. I know we are all built differently but avoid this pill if you can, would not wish these side effects on anyone. | F | 46 | 4 years 30mg | 3/14/2016 |
