| 1 | As a birth control method | Today I noticed that I was especially feeling just blah and today would be the 6th day since I begin taking micronor. I had no energy and I felt cranky and everything just got on my nerves. I felt like just sleeping my life away as a coping mechanism. Having been through postpartum depression in the past this defiantly felt like the onslaught of the beginning of depression. Needless to say the three months worth are in the garbage. I am going off the pill and I'm going to stick to condoms. I noticed the side effects right away cause I am very in tune with my body and I have been tracking my cycles for 6months now. This behaviour and moodiness was defiantly out of character for me. I wonder if progesterone Is the same hormone responsible for postpartum depression | F | 34 | 6 days .35mg | 1/27/2015 | 1 | hi ladies .im going to stop this pill cause im bleeding most of time and my boobs hurt and ive been getting sore back and side my tummy feels like its going to burst im only a size 10 .my face skin is a mess and my hair falling out im feeing tired to . | no good | F | 36 | 9 months | 1/24/2015 | 1 | Contraception | Depression, anxiety, irregular bleeding, fatigue, heavier periods. | After taking Micronor for about 3 weeks my mood began to change. It's as if my mind is in a fog. I have a history of depression and anxiety but haven't felt like this for a long time and am convinced that Micronor has caused this. People with a history of depression and anxiety and taking this pill should be cautious. | F | 21 | 2 months 30 | 1/12/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Irregular periods, decreased sex drive, increased appetite, mood swings. | I was taking a different birth control pill, but my doctor switched me to this one since I have frequent headaches. Since I started this pill, my period has been very irregular. I'll sometimes go 3 months without a period, then other times I'll get two periods in a month. When I do get a period, it's very long (lasts over a week), heavy, and with unbearable cramps. I never had these issues until I started this pill. | F | 26 | 3 years | 1/11/2015 | 1 | contraceptive, breastfeeding | Anxiety, mood swings, extreme fatigue, fear, change in personality | I started to take this pill for contraceptive reasons. The big reason for progesterone only was because I'm breastfeeding. After a week I immediately saw changes in my milk supply, very tired in the morning, mood swings, and started having fear and night and had ab anxiety attack. Immediately stopped taking after three weeks. | F | 23 | 3 weeks | 1/6/2015 | 1 | To improve periods | Tender breasts, itchy nipples, gained 14lbs, heavy and longer periods, painful periods. Spots on chest. | Changed from the combined pill to the mini pill due to migraines, I can't cope taking this pill any longer my appetite is never satisfied and I have gained about 16lbs in 3 months. longer periods with spotting in between. | F | 30 | 3 months 350 1X day | 1/2/2015 | 1 | contraception | Throbbing headaches, blurry vision, swollen bulging eyes, ringing in the ears, nose bleeds, loss of sex drive, chest neck and arm pain. | After having bad experiences with the combo pill (hair loss, no sex drive) and the IUD being too painful I was looking forward to trying this mini pill. 1.5 months in the swollen painful eyes started with blurry vision (what feels like snow blindness), I didn't make the connection until recently. The headaches accompanied by ringing in the ears started 2 weeks ago. I'm stopping this ASAP and going to see my doc tomorrow. The chest pain has happened a handful of times but is so bad I need to lay on the floor and wait until it passes. | F | 23 | 3 months | 12/14/2014 | 1 | birth control | I experienced serious insomnia. I have tried every OTC drugs-ineffective. I saw a doctor 6 weeks after I started the drug bcos I was unable to function, he gave me trazadone, it didn't work. Checked into the urgent care few weeks later, he gave me remeron, sadly it only worked for one night. I couldn't take the side effects of feeling drowsy and lethargic. I missed school the day after taking remeron. My memory is foggy. For 2 months now I feel so down, sad and it feels like doomsday. I called off work several times from exhausted.Sometimes I take trazadone with melatonin and still ineffective. I stopped drinking coffee in the morning, I started exercising in the morning, I can fall asleep but I only sleep 2-3 hours at a time. I | I wish I never took it. Am at a loss. I don't remember ever feel this done for this long | F | 32 | 3 months | 12/14/2014 | 2 | Contraceptive | Severe mood swings, depression, hair loss, fatigue, overall unwell feeling | I have been taking micronor for 8 years now. I didn't notice any issues at the beginning. I have been suffering hair loss for about a year and half now. I have went to everyone about could think about! I went to a different doctor today and he immediately said for me to come off micronor! Over the past 2 years I have been on a serious low, depressed, no patience, snappy just awful to be around as I don't know when my mood will change. As I am only stopping this today it's hard to say if it's the real cause but from reading others reviews it's looking very likely! I hope everyone else sees great improvements coming off this pill! | F | 30 | 8 years 30 mg | 12/8/2014 | 1 | contraception | headaches, breast tenderness, weight gain, extreme mood swings, depression, lack of interest | F | 20 | 6 months .35 mg 1X day | 12/8/2014 | 1 | Painful periods | Headache, increased heart rate, anxiety and panic attacks, overall ill feeling like I was going to die, breast pain, nausea, dizziness | This pill at first was fine and cleared up my acne. It didn't stop my periods entirely until the 6th month. However anxiety started to creep in slowly. So slowly that I didn't link it to micronor until the 6th month. Panic attacks while driving which is so scary. All symptoms flare acutely before my period. Finally this month and last at the same time i was scheduled to have a period, I started having headaches at the same time as racing heart and I felt like my head was buried in a black fog. Absolutely terrible feeling, like you're out of control and going to die. I could only stare at the ceiling and wait for hours until it finally subsided. I couldn't lift my head for the nausea and dizziness. I stopped this pill yesterday and can't wait to be rid of it | F | 44 | 7 months 1X day | 11/27/2014 | 1 | Contraception | Extreme Weight Gain, Fatigue, Mood Swings, Irregular Periods, Memory Loss, Paranoia | Since I started taking micronor a year ago I have put on 50 pounds, all while trying very hard to lose weight. I am constantly tired, I wake up tired and I go to bed exhausted and I get the recommended 8 hours of sleep a night. My mood is so unpredictable, one moment I will be happy and the next I will be depressed. I thought I was becoming bipolar and it was terrifying to me. I lash out at my husband for no reason and I have become very irrational when dealing with everyday things. My periods are never regular, sometimes I'll get my period twice a month and sometimes I wont get my period for 4 months straight. I have also experienced memory problems, I will be having a conversation and all of a sudden I will forget what we are talking about. It is very scary. I find myself also being very irrational, I can't stay home alone anymore and things that never scared me before, terrify me. This is a long list and I am so happy that I found this website and realized I am not the only one going through this. I honestly thought that I was going crazy, I didn't think that it could be the birth control I was taking. As of today I will no longer be taking micronor. I am so frustrated that it took me this long to diagnose all my symptoms. | F | 20 | 1 years 1X day | 11/27/2014 | 1 | Contraception | Depression, lethargic, emotional, lack of interest, loss of sex drive, bust size increase. | Been taking this for 8 weeks, read a few reviews at the start, dismissed them as rubbish ( I never get ill, have not had a day sick in over 10 yrs ) the last three weekends which are days off I have spent on the sofa, I have been crying for no real reason, too tired to do anything like the supermarket trip, felt on edge and nervous, want to be left alone (son at uni & good job as he would think I was going nuts ) I came home from work early today from my dream job which I love and cried all afternoon for nothing, I feel like I'm going downhill, fast. My sex drive has disappeared & my fiancé will too I fear if I don't get back to my old self. I have never suffered any kind of depression or feelings like this before and hope I will feel better in a few weeks once I stop taking Micronor. I feel quite silly for rolling my eyes as I read other women's reviews on this now and hope this will help anyone who has had the same reaction too. | F | 40 | 2 months | 11/24/2014 | 1 | Contraceptive/periods | Depression, anxiety, severe weight loss, lack of apetite, fatigue, suicidal | So a year ago I began taking this. A year ago was also when I began to experience a dramatic decline in my mood. The past year has been hell, I have experienced every symptom of every mental illness in the book. Since taking this pill i have had no interest or energy for anything, i have dramatically lost my apetite resulting in over a stone lost in exactly a year (when i started taking it), since taking the pill i have started self harming, my relationships with others have been ruined due to this new personality the pill has given me, been referred to a mental health clinic. The mood swings are so awful that it gets to the point where you wonder if you have biploar, literally fine as anything one second then an anxious emotional mess the next. This pill has messed up my hormones and my mind and every aspect of my life. Everyone thought i had developed some serious issues. A few days ago i stopped taking the pill and it has been the best decision i've made since i begun. I finally feel like myself, my brain chemicals and hormones feel balanced. I'm so happy i realised before it was too late. I urge anyone with similar symptoms to come off the pill- IT IS NOT WORTH IT!! I'm so sorry all of you have had similar negative experiences, would not wish this on anyone. | F | 18 | 1 days | 11/21/2014 | 4 | birth control | very light and irregular periods. Maybe fatigue? | Micronor has been very good to me. | F | 28 | 2 years 1X day | 11/4/2014 | 1 | Birth control | Severe depression, severe brain fog, depersonalization, bad thoughts, unreal feeling, fear, anxiety, disconnect to loved ones. | Wow. So I am sensitive to hormones, after bad experiences with nuva ring, and combination pill, my dr offered the idea to try the mini pill which only has progesterone. I was really excited hoping I was only sensitive to combo pills. I never had depression before. I am a healthy marathon runner, and about 2 weeks in I woke up in a fog, a nasty dream like estate. When everything in my life is great! Feelings of despair, and fright, but no reason to be frightful, finding myself to fusterated at night that I just cry myself to sleep scared to death? It's a slow fade, an I hit a wall with this pill. Not refilling my pack tomorrow. My husband says it's not worth feeling this awful. We will just do family planning or condemns till maybe trying the paragard. (No hormones). No one should ever feel this way. I don't have depression, but this month has really opened my eyes to what the people with chronic depression go through. I am going to pray for them. Because just a month of this was awful. Do not take this pill. | F | 21 | 1 months 1xD | 11/1/2014 | 2 | Birth control | Hair loss, mood swings, irritable,bloated, weight gain,ibs symptoms,fatigue, crying all the time. 35 day in between periods. | Coming off this pill, due to recent hair loss... Big clumps coming out and feels really thin. Also random bleeding and having two periods this month. Seems symptoms get worse the longer you take this pill... Hate feeling like this And looking back to before I started taking this pill I didn't feel like this. I'm so happy I found this site, made me realise it's not just me and I've decided to stop taking it straight away. | F | 33 | 1 years 1 | 10/30/2014 | 4 | Progesterone only pill | I began this pill to help regulate my period and I can only take progesterone pills. I have increased acne. Generally when I should be getting my period, so could just be the extra hormones. Around the 5th month of usage my period has stopped. So not too bad. | F | 21 | 6 months | 10/22/2014 | 1 | Recommended by dr. | Started taking this about 2 months postpartum. I was almost at pre-baby weight with 5 lbs left. After a little while of taking this, I started to gain weight. After a few months, I went from 128 lbs to 136. I wondering why I couldn't lose weight. I even tracked everything I ate for the last two months! I ate about 1000 calories a day, and could not lose any weight. That was so incredibly frustrating. Plus I have oily skin and hair. I am going to look for a different option starting ASAP. | F | 30 | 6 months .35 mg | 10/9/2014 | 1 | To ease heavy periods | After two weeks I started to feel emotionally numb. After six weeks in severe depression with anxiety attacks, anger, suicidal thoughts and in a brain fog. Bleeding was constant but it was lighter. Stopped taking and after just six days the blackness started to lift. | F | 49 | 6 weeks 1X day | 10/5/2014 |
