| 4 | period regulation, birth control | Nausea, stomach problems, acne, I just stopped taking depo provera so automatically I have a heep of symptoms and side effects yet on levora all I had was 3 added on which is not bad compared to what depo did to me. Hopefully when my cell effects wear off in a few months my levora side effects will subside like it did when I was on another pill I love it so far drop also stopped my menstration so idk about that yet...I recommend this BC method over all others | F | 19 | 7 days once a day | 2/10/2013 | 3 | prevent pregnancy | WEIGHT GAIN! I gained 1 pound every week since I got on it. My appetite has grown & I keep having night mares wake up crying! Stay away you will gain weight . Just helps because I get no nausea just the first pill of the month makes me throw up. | F | 19 | 4 weeks | 1/15/2013 | 1 | birth control, period regulation | Ive only been taking levora for a month but so far it hasn't done me any good.I've been switched around from birth control to birth control this year .I was on ortho tri cyclen for 7 months and was having very bad mood swings and weird symptoms so I was switched to levora but I haven't had a good experience with it, I feel extremely fatigued, tired,and lazy I have absolutely no energy when usually I'm very active and insomnia at night so no sleep!! Ive also been having uncontrollable rage, mood swings,depression, and increased anxiety. I have gotten a lot of acne aswell when my skin is usually clear and my pms is far worse I was so extremely Moody, fatigued, lazy and down on my period.I plan on switching but it's so hard to find a good birth control. | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/18/2012 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy, regulate periods | Weight gain, depression, moodiness, headaches, cramps, problems wearing contacts and zero sex drive-my husband USED to consider me a nympho | F | 28 | 2 years | 8/15/2012 | 5 | Birth Control | Not really any. I actually got a little hungrier on the pill but besides that nothing really noticeable. I don't feel any different and my libido didn't change ;) | F | 17 | 15 days 0.15/30 1X day | 8/6/2012 | 2 | Eliminate periods, no pregnancy | Non stop bleeding! At first it lasted 2 weeks then went away then came back with a vengeance and has been for going on 4 weeks. It's not heavy but it starts that way and then slows and then comes back! I also feel icky in general which I'm sure is because everytime we try to have sex, I either am bleeding or the sex brings it on, can't wait to get off it! | F | 27 | 3 months .15/30 x1 | 8/6/2012 | 4 | Birth control | Night sweats after several months | Overall this has been a great pill for me, and i have tried several. Spotting occurred during the first month but stopped after i had my first period in week 4. Now, a year into taking levora, i have started having hot flashes at night. But my periods are almost non-existent and i don't have any skin problems so i will stick with it. | F | 22 | 1 years 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 3 | Regulate period and birth control | Initially I noticed that I was more moody than without the pill, but I expected that. This last go around, I was taking the placebo pills while I had my period and I was severely depressed, in bed crying for almost 2 days straight. | F | 29 | 4 months 30 1X day | 11/9/2011 | 2 | Prevent babies | pms, mood swings, depression, crying all the time, hot flashes, feeling worthless, still cramping, uncontrollable rage | I have decided to get off this pill after recognizing the changes and side effects of this medication. This pill made my pms worse by far, as if any emotion (anger/sadness) was magnified 10x. I cry all the time sometimes for no reason at all, but feeling sad. I do not want to take antidepressants to counteract with this drug. I think getting off this pill will bring back my old self. | F | 21 | 8 months 1X day | 8/21/2011 | 2 | birth controll | Moody, crying, anger, irritated, anxiety, acne | I was find for about 6 months than all of a sudden I got horrible acne and my mood swings were unbearable. I was having anxiety attached that I had never had before. I am getting off of it ASAP! | F | 24 | 7 months .15 1X day | 5/29/2011 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | Anxiety, horrible acne, bad cramping, depression | I was previously on yaz with no problems and was switched to levora when i moved the first few months were O.k although i had bad breakouts and horribly acne, the days of the placebo pills my acne would get better but then once i started a new pack i would breakout again. However the worst effect was the anxiety after maybe 5 months of taking this pill i started finding myself worrying sick about the most meaningless things.. it was so bad that i would start hyperventilating, my chest would hurt i would think i was having a heart attack and rush into the ER (keep in mind im a healthy, active 24 year old) after 3 ER visits in 1.5 months i knew something was wrong, I finally got off the pill and its been a month since i stopped, im still anxious and worrying about stupid things sometimes but I can tell myself is just in my mind and I am able to relax, i have started to feel a lot better and I know it was levora that made me feel that way. | F | 24 | 11 months 1X day | 4/18/2011 | 1 | prevent pregnancy | worse acne! super moody and mean, anxiety, yeast infections, cramps, etc. | i didnt realize my bc is what is causing me all these problems until i looked at others experiences. im definitely getting off of it. | F | 17 | 8 months 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 2 | Birth Control | Difficulty wearing my hard lenses, eye fatigue and strain, dull and sharp pain behind eyes, dizziness, nausea. | I went on this Pill, the third one that I've tried, to avoid yeast infections. While on Levora, I have had fewer yeast infections, but I cannot concentrate on up-close work (such as using the computer) for more than an hour or two before my eyes fatigue and dizziness begins. Oddly enough, the symptoms are transitory and do not occur daily--which makes them worse. | F | 26 | 6 months 1X day | 7/15/2010 | 3 | BIrth Control PMS | Fine for first 7 mos, then bad moods, severe, anxiety, wrote about it above forgot to add rating | F | 44 | 9 months | 6/22/2009 | 4 | Prevent pregnancy | VERY mild acne, lowered libido, VERY minimal weight gain (and I have not changed my eating habits at all so I know it's the pill), occasional minor bloating/cramps a few days before period. | I have only been on this birth control. It has been great as far as keeping mood swings from happening and I haven't gotten pregnant. I occasionally get mild acne but I have combination skin as it is so it could just be me. Weight gain was pretty expected and it was only a couple pounds.. no big deal. I would definitely reccommend Levora to others. I do wish I had my old sex drive back though and I think my fiance wishes for the same. :( | F | 18 | 2 years | 3/12/2009 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy, regulate periods | None | I have been on this pill for about 7 1/2 years with no problems whatsoever. Periods start like clockwork when they are supposed to. I could almost set my watch by it. | F | 28 | 7 years | 10/30/2008 | 5 | birth control/migraines | mild mood swings and headaches on the fourth (off) weeks | I love it. No real negative side effects (no weight gain, acne, spotting); I still get migraines on week 4 but otherwise I feel really great since switching from Loestrin 24 Fe, which was a nightmare for me. | F | 22 | 6 months | 6/2/2008 | 3 | birth control | nausea and fatigue at first... these got better but intense moodiness persists (random crying). | F | 3 months | 5/26/2008 | 1 | birth control | I started breaking out within the first month so I stopped taking it, and I have clear skin so I knew it was the birth control thanks to reading about user feedback from others off this website. | F | 28 | 1 months | 5/26/2008 | 2 | Birth Control | Terrible acne that I've never had before. Went on different acne medications and nothing would clear it. Other birth controls never gave me this problem. The good thing is that Levora gave me a much shorter period - only 3 days. Very moody, soar chest a week before period, and bad cramps for a few days. Definitely switching next time I go to my doctor. | F | 21 | 1 years | 4/30/2008 |
