 1  to prevent pregnancy 2 days after taking nordette i developed headaches and nausea. After 5 days i developed a rash on my hand which was itchy then the rash spread to my whole neck(wish you can see how ugly it is) I used to feel dizzy and lost appetite. I also developed pimples on my face and I've always had a smooth face. I would not recommend it to anybody,I have gone back to my former pill (femiplan). F 27 2 weeks

 2  Birth Control SEVERE mood swings. I am normally a calm, laid back person, but i would get extremely angry for no reason, or cry uncontrolably. I have horrible leg cramps that I have never experienced before in my life. Also shortness of breath, bad acne. I have been on 4 different types of birth control and this one is the worst. F 21 4 months

 2  Regulation Severe mood swings (anger/depression/outbursts/ect) at the same time every month (when I had 2-3 pink pills left, or when I was on my first or second placebo pill), acne worsened. I had no problems my first seven months or so of using it, however, around October of 2007 I began experiencing side effects. F 18 11 months

 5  Birth control and period regulation Slight weight gain and water retention but this stopped after a few months and I lost the weight. I really should be going off the pill due to my age but with barely no side effects compared to all the others I tried, my doctor is monitoring me and keeping me on it at the moment. After using it for 15 years, I was off it for 1 month before getting pregnant. F 46 26 years

 5  birth control possibly contributed to weight gain. WITH THE GENERIC ONLY: severe vaginal dryness and the associated discomforts, mood swings - got back on the brand name and was better in a month. i started this pill when i was 16, and haven't gotten pregnant. i had some problems when my insurance required me to switch to the generic form for about six months, but got better quickly when i switched back to the brand name. i used to have really heavy periods with painful cramping that would last 7 or 8 days, with about a week of nasty pms beforehand; since being on the pill, i have a day or two of pms followed by 3 or 4 days of light bleeding and mild cramping. my skin has also cleared up - i used to have moderate issues with acne (3-4 pimples at a time, always), now it's very rare for me to break out. F 27 11 years

 4  contraceptive and to ease period cr moodiness and a bit of weight gain I have been onn this pill for 3months now. I instantly noticed that my severe period cramps had eased so much.

 2  Birth control mood swings, weight gain, breakthrough bleeding For the first month taking Nordette, I cried every day. It made me an emotional wreck. For the second month I was fine. I had breakthrough bleeding for a month and a half in the third and fourth months of taking it, and for the past two months my emotions have completely flat lined, in that I'm not feeling much either way. I've also put on weight, starting with my breasts but then moving to the rest of my body. I'm looking to ask my doctor about changing pills very soon. It hasn't cleared up any pimples, either. F 18 6 months
