| 4 | Birth Control /stop break through b | Absolutely No Breakthrough Bleeding, weird discharge though no color, no smell, had a slight burning to it almost like I had a yeast infection, but then it went away. NO weight change. Sex has been great and noticed having more lubrication and not dry. Has anyone else had this discharge??? | My husband says that I am more moody, but if I look at him the wrong way he also says I'm fussing with him. I have only been on it 2 months and am very happy compared to other pill that I was taking. This pill is a win win for me! | F | 32 | 2 months | 4/29/2007 | 3 | Birth Control/Cramps | EXTREME fatigue, depression, moody, breast tenderness, slight nausea, trouble concentrating, slight consipation/diahhrea. | It works okay, I'm on my third month taking it, but I'm so tired all the time, I fall asleep anywhere and everywhere... it's becoming to be a huge burden because I'm not as efficient with my work as I used to be, and that's a problem. All I think about is sleeping and I never seem to get enough of it. | F | 18 | 3 months | 4/26/2007 | 5 | BC | I really have had no side effects whatsoever in the two years that I have been taking this medication. I have suffered no sexual side effects, haven't gained any weight and haven't had any skin reactions. I consider this wonderful especially in view of my age. I will take this as long as I need birth control. | F | 39 | 2 years | 4/18/2007 | 3 | Birth Control | headaches, mood swings, lessened sex drive, cramps | side affects were tolerable in exchange for not getting pregnant - worked better than several other pills tried | F | 34 | 15 years | 4/9/2007 | 3 | regulate cycle/birth control | I've been taking this for 2 1/2 years, and all of a suddeen on my 10th day of the pack I break out in hives on my chest and face. I've also noticed my weight flucuate after and before this time. Could I have an aversion to this medication now I had initial mood swings when I began taking it, but since it has subsided. | F | 24 | 2.5 years | 3/18/2007 | 1 | Doctor called in the wrong script | Mild cramps 24 hours a day all month. I don't usually even cramp during period. Hungry all the time, but did not gain weight. Felt angry a lot for no reason. | I did not take it long enough to give a professional opinion, but it made me very uncomfortable while I was on it. | F | 27 | 1 months | 3/15/2007 | 1 | contraceptive | heavy bleeding for a week...so far. i am very depressed and anxious. abdominal cramps, worse than i get when im on my period. fatigue, insomnia, no appetite, nausea, severe headache, tingling in my toes and hands. | I have been on birth control before and never experienced any side effects other than breast tenderness. I stopped taking them because the side effects were so bad, and even though I havent taken any in a few days, I still cant sleep and have pretty bad headaches. | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 3/4/2007 | 4 | Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome | Severe moodiness, insomnia, other than that, not so bad. | I have been on it for a few months, not too bad, significant weight loss, cleared up my acne, and I only have a period for about 3 days instead of 5. | F | 22 | 4 days | 2/22/2007 | 1 | acne, birth control | major bloating, cramping, throwing up, headache, dizziness, laziness, no energy at all, very weak | I've tried several different types of birth control pills before and I have never had side effects like this. I've only been on it for a few days, but again, never had side effects like this before, especially all at once. | F | 23 | 4 days | 2/21/2007 | 2 | pre-IVF | Lethargic, no energy. Complete exhaustion. Breasts very sore, tender and swollen. Vomiting around the time of my period. Not depressed, just very apathetic and listless. | I definitely did not have any of these symptoms prior to taking birth control. I am usually sensitive to most medications, so it is not a suprise I am reacting negatively. Probably not related to the "brand" of pill...just the pill in general. | F | 38 | 1 months | 2/10/2007 | 1 | birth control/ heavy periods | Sever nausea everyday!about a 5 lb weight gain, and major breast tenderness. headaches and major mood swings. | This pill is horrible. I was prescribed this because of my heavy painful periods, I would rather have them. Unless you don't live with anyone I suggest you not take it or else you will tear their head off. The anxiety is horrible, also I cannot sleep, and have severe headaches and worst of all feel sick all the time. I am stopping this pill today. | 21 | 1 months | 1/22/2007 | 1 | birth control | Extreme anxiety, severe moodiness, uncontrollable outbursts for no reason... | This drug made me crazy! It made a MONSTER out of me, nearly destroying my marriage. | F | 25 | 6 months | 1/18/2007 | 4 | Best option | None | I really appreciate this form of bcp. I am very picky and don't like doctors and I am very funny about medicines. So considering that I have been on this for over a year and have yet to complain. I say GO FOR IT LADIES!!! | M | 27 | 1 years | 12/14/2006 | 5 | Birth control | None | I never had any problems while I was taking ortho-novum. I recently stopped taking it as I plan on having a baby soon. When I stopped taking it I returned to having my normal cycle with out problems. (I had a normal cycle before taking the pills). | F | 26 | 8 years | 12/11/2006 | 3 | birth control and menstral symptoms | frequent migraines | This pill alleviated the horrid menstral cramping and reduced the length of my period from 10 to 6 days. But as soon as I started taking it, I started getting cluster migraines. With Kariva and Mircette, which I had previously taken, my migraines were less frequent. | F | 35 | 3 months | 11/29/2006 | 4 | birth control/ period management | slight weight gain, eventually I stopped having a period. | i took this for a year and then went off of it try and get pregnant, and now I am back on it again I have tried three other forms of birth control and this is the only one that I have liked and that does not make me feel out of control. | F | 26 | 1 years | 11/28/2006 | 1 | Birth Control / regulate periods | cramps, nausea, heavy bleeding, headache, bloating | I took this pill for several years and had no problem. Then I was off for several years. When I started it back up, it's been horrible. I've been on it for two months and have had EXTREMELY painful periods. I'm doubled over in pain, can't sleep because of it, can hardly function. I'm extremely irritable, diarrhea, horrible headache and bleeding more heavily than I ever have. I bloat so much during my period that nothing I own fits me. It's awful. | F | 45 | 2 months | 11/22/2006 | 2 | prevent pregnancy | became increasingly anxious and irritable; got upset about things i normally would not care about; could cry over anything which is very unlike me; had bleeding throughout the first month and part of the second; signficant decrease in energy; extreme breast tenderness during 2nd and 3rd wks | i had a better experience with this pill than others i have been on, but i don't feel like the side effects outweigh the benefits | F | 24 | 4 months | 11/19/2006 | 1 | Birth Control | Anxiousness, panic attacks, severe breast tenderness, migraines, nightmares, moodiness, paranoia. | It's been a month since I started taking it and the side effects only seem to have gotten worse. | F | 19 | 1 months | 11/9/2006 | 2 | Prevention of pregnancy | Weight gain, moodiness, depression, increased appetite | This is the first BC pull I have ever taken and would never take it again. In the one month that I've taken it I went from a happy go lucky person to a depressed person wanting to do nothing but sit, sleep, and eat. I had a gastric bypass in August and was losing weight up until I started taking this BC pill. I haven't lost any weight in a month and my small appetite has increased seven fold. | F | 25 | 30 days | 11/5/2006 |
