| 3 | Birth Control | Since im on nordette,ive been bleeding none stop-1.5 months alrdy!!! | F | 20 | 45 days | 8/7/2007 | 3 | birth control | mood swings of astronomical proportions, depression | i have taken this pill one full cycle, the first week was complete craziness i felt like another person, and now i am having my first period and while i haven't had any cramping which is definitely a plus, i have been completely evil all day long | F | 29 | 30 days | 7/19/2007 | 4 | Birth Control | Acne | Very happy with it- no mood swings or headaches or other problems except the acne. | F | 32 | 4 months | 6/14/2007 | 5 | Routine birth control | None | Nordette has never given me any problems. My skin cleared up as soon as I started taking it. Any time I went off of it for a few months, I would break out again, which definitely influenced my decision to keep taking it. I was given Levora, a generic for Nordette, and experienced some acne, so I opted to just pay the higher price for Nordette and clear skin! I highly recommend at least trying this pill. It may not be the right one for everyone, but it's certainly been great for me. | F | 23 | 7 years | 5/24/2007 | 2 | Spotting between periods. | -Constantly blotted, despite being on a healthy diet. -Low libido and reduced natural vaginal lubrication during intercourse. -Poor skin appearance. | I stopped taking this pill for about eight months and felt great. I had to get back on it because of my partner, but I'm currently looking at other non-hormonal alternatives. | F | 29 | 4 years | 5/21/2007 | 3 | Contraceptive & reduce PMS symptoms | weight gain, emoitional, spotting, depression, acne | I was emotional wreck would always pick fights with my boyfriend, I took the pill back to back for 4 months with no menstrauation- cause spotting and weight gain. It did prevent pregnancy but the side effects were too negative to justify the use of nordette. | F | 23 | 4 years | 5/1/2007 | 3 | birth control | emoitional, spotting, depression, acne | The university pharmacy didn't carry Nordette and dispensed Portia instead. I had heavy spotting and emotional issues switching. My Dr. said even though its generic for Nordette, the FDA allows a 10% decrepency with the amounts of hormones- which caused all those symptoms. I had to switch my Rx to a didferent pharmancy. | F | 23 | 2 years | 5/1/2007 | 1 | PMS | While on this birth control, I experienced terrible acne, to the point that it may have left permanent scaring. | The side effects outway the cost of having PMS. Would rather recomend otc. Have had no problems on this pill. | F | 24 | | 4/10/2007 | 2 | Birth Control | Weight gain, mood swings, emotional, slightly depressed, fatigue, anxitey | While own this pill, I had less cramps and shorter periods but it took me a while to realize that these pills were effecting my daily life. I was on OTClo for a year and switched...bad mistake. I have been off for a week now and feel so much better in terms of mood. | F | 28 | 1 years | 4/3/2007 | 5 | birth control | weight gain, eczema | too moody | F | 27 | 3 years | 2/22/2007 | 3 | birth control, hormonal regulation | stroke | no one seems to know exactly why i had a stroke but the MD's best guess is the pill. | F | 28 | 5 months | 2/8/2007 | 2 | birth control | extreme loss of sex drive, sexual enjoyment and lubrication, minor headaches. | supposedly Levlen is another brand name for Nordette but I took Nordette for 2 years with no issues what-so-ever. | F | 21 | 1 years | 2/4/2007 | 1 | Birth Control | Break-through bleeding, mood swings and decreased sex drive | I would not recommend Nordette. I went from being a very happy person to being a psycho on this pill. Also extremely bad spotting which I have never experience on any other pill | F | 22 | 3 months | 1/19/2007 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | tender breasts | My breasts were so tender it hurt to walk around the house without a bra on. I went from OTC lo to Nordette to try and resolve some headache issues but I realized I was better off in the first place on OTC lo. This is a strong pill!!! I also gained about 10 pounds in a couple months. I am switching back to my old pill next month. | F | 22 | 2 months | 11/6/2006 | 5 | birth control | complete lack of sex drive, migraines with loss/ blurred vision, rapid heartbeat from time to time | regulated my periods, kept my skin clear and kept the cramps to a minimum, switched to this pill after i experienced spotting for 3 months with ortho-tricyclen. stronger pill but i think that's why my sex drive is completely GONE | F | 25 | 4 years | 11/4/2006 | 3 | Birth control | Moody, sarted a fight for no reason. When I got off tender breasts for 6 months. Still not pregnant. Pain of ovaries. | Keep you regular but bad to get off. | F | 32 | 7 years | 10/23/2006 | 4 | Birth Control | Since i started using Nordette i have developed eczema. I never use to have problems with my skin untill i have started using it. As for the the reason i uses Nordette wich is birth control it is very efective. | F | 22 | 5 years | 10/18/2006 | 5 | Reduce PMS symptoms | Spotting and headaches mostly because I am forgetful of taking them. | Since specifically taking it for PMS, I have found that my emotions have evened out, my fatique has lessened --not only around my period but for the whole month. My cramps are beginning to lessen. Although still get bloated. Migrains are gone unless I forget to take the pill. No weight gain (but no loss). No added acne. Don't breakout during period anymore. No loss of drive. | F | 25 | 3 months | 9/21/2006 | 3 | birth control, regular period | weight gain, nausea at the begining, but the worst was lack of bleeding during my period (which you'd think was good, but it was pretty gross, cause that meant all I got was nasty brown tissue) | I would not recommend it, after a year, I'm going back to desogen. | F | 27 | 1 years | 9/2/2006 | 2 | birth control, regular period | loss of sex-drive, weight gain, nausea at the begining, but the worst was lack of bleeding during my period (which you'd think was good, but it was pretty gross, cause that meant all I got was nasty brown tissue) | I would not recommend it, after a year, I'm going back to desogen. | F | 27 | 1 years | 9/2/2006 |
