 1  birth control Weight gain, facial hair growth, leg cramps making it very painful to stand up for long, loss of sex drive, dryness, extreme mood swings from feeling numb to feeling irrational rage and depression. My once happy marriage turned into a war zone, I was a bitch to him and if I had not stopped taking it I hate to think of what would have happened to our relationship. Worst medication ever! Within days of going off it I started to feel like me again and within a month I was back to my usual happy self and loving life. After this experience we have gone to natural methods of contracepion and they have worked for us perfectly for the past year. No need to take a pill that makes us feel that aweful. There are other ways. F 25 3 months

 1  Contraception The longer I took it the angrier I got, I experienced horrible mood swings. I was having a lot of anxiety and just felt down. I gained 8 lbs in the 3 months I took it, I lost my sex drive and lashed out at my husband numerous times. I called my Dr and she wanted me to give it 3 months today was the end of the 3rd pack and I called my Dr again and she changed me back to Yasmin, I didn't experience all of these horrible side effects with Yasmin just a lot of cramping, but I'm not switching ever again. I seriously felt like I was going crazy, still don't feel good today was my 1st day off of it and I hope I start feeling like myself soon and drop the weight that I gained! F 31 3 months

 5  Birth Control Nausea, upset stomach, slight weight gain. I've been taking Altavera, the generic of Nordette for 3+ months now. This is my first time taking the pill. No big complaints. If I don't eat with it, I feel nauseous and my stomach gets upset. I've noticed a slight weight gain from excess water weight, only a few pounds, but nothing extreme. I really enjoy this pill. No spotting, period comes on time during the placebo pills. No unplanned pregnancy. I'll continue in using this. F 21 3 months

 1  Birth Control/ help with Menses Rapid weight gain! 26 lbs in all! Severe Headaches, EXTREME moodiness/anger/outbursts/depression. Decreased Sex drive, Cramping, blurred vision, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE! Extreme fatigue, retained fluid. I was put on this pill because I have always had irregular heavy menses. Dr was confident that I would not have much break through bleeding on this pill. He was right...HOWEVER..I noticed the weight gain right away. Im 31 and never gained much weight. by month 7 I had gained 20lbs..at the point of stopping the pills Its was 26 lbs and still rising! I dont eat alot and still stay very active, thought it was only water weight. I was wrong. Even with diet and excercise, I was STILL GAINING. Then it was the headaches, every day. Continued cramping. Sex drive????? My healthy sexual appitite..GONE. Then came the HORRIBLE mood swings. I would get anrgy sooo easy, and for little reason, couldnt understand why I was feeling soo depressed while everything was soo happy in my life. Crying alot, not sleeping well....Just plain AWEFUL. BUT What really caught my attention everyone, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS...I developed fatigue with this pill, but then suddenly that fatigue turned into SEVERE fatigue...Debilitating, My head felt like it was in a fog and Felt like I had some sort of indegestion. Headache never seemed to go away. I finally went to the Dr..and my blood pressure was through the ROOF!! He demanded I stop the pills immediatly as it was clear with my symptoms that I was headed for a heart attack or a stroke!!! I stopped immediatly. Im already feeling better just weeks later. they are still running tests, Dr is keeping a close eye on me. He warned to never take this pill again. O F 31 1 years

 1  birth control aggitation, crying for no reason, moodiness, road rage, lack of interest, anger. I feel like I might hurt someone who loves me. I started feeling this way about a month after I switched birth control. I thought I was going crazy. I am normally such a easy going person so this is out of norm for me. After finding this on a search I immediately called my provider to change back to loestrin. F 32

 5  birth control I went on this drug when I was in high school and maybe gained a little weight but was overall very pleased with it. I really didn't have any side effects. After having my kids, I tried to go back on it and had some spotting so my Dr. recommended trying a variety of other pills. About 1 year later I finally asked if I could try Nordette again and was pleasantly surprised that everything was great on it again. The other drugs made me dry, lack sex drive, miss periods (really scary!), etc. My Mom also takes this and has had a good experience as well so maybe it's just the right fit for our bodies. Love it!
