 1  avoid pregnancy anxiety, depression, mood swings, loss of appetite, lacking motivation, weight loss, negative outlook on life I have been taking this meditation for a month and a half and these are the symptoms I experienced: I had been crying almost every day, I do not have the energy to do anything except go to work and sleep, I lost the urge to eat meals.. and even after forcing myself to eat at least twice a day I lost nearly 10 pounds in a month, I noticed myself withdrawing from my usual support groups and lashing out at them more often, and my usual optimistic outlook on life is replaced with constant negativity. At first, I thought it was the stress of starting a new job, since I started the pill around the same time…but after reading the reviews from everyone else I am starting to realize everything I had been dealing with is a result from the birth control. I am so ashamed that I did not do enough research on this medication..My mental health has been in the gutter since starting the pill and I would NOT wish this feeling on anyone. F 23 1 months

 1  To prevent pregnancy I was on birth control(the pill) from age 15-23 years old. No breaks. I decided I wanted to try the IUD. First Kyleena, then the Copper IUD. I was experiencing painful sex, recurring infections and horrible cramping not associated with my period. So I decided to give birth control a try again and wanted to be on a low dose of hormones. BIG mistake. I have been on this pill for two months, and within 5 days of taking it the first month I felt this horrible change. The middle of my cycle on this pill seemed to be the worst. I have had the worst anxiety I’ve had in my life, depression and overall feeling like I’m losing my mind. I will not be continuing this pill. If you are a sensitive person, (sensitive mind, and to taking medication) I highly suggest NOT taking this pill. This should be off the market. F 25 2 days

 1  Heavy Periods/ Acne Absolutely awful experience. I started taking Junel to help with my heavy cycles and hormonal acne. The first month i started taking it, my acne got extremely worse but i was told to wait atleast three months to see a difference, so i kept taking them. However, immediately it started to help with the heavy periods. On the the second month and i was doing fine until i realized i was short of breath easily. I decided to check my resting heart rate 120bpm and my blood pressure 132/100. This triggered a lot of anxiety and heart palpitations. I stopped taking them three weeks ago and im still dealing with heart palpitations and elevated heart rate. Currently wearing a heart monitor due to sinus tachycardia on the ekg. DONOT TAKE THIS PILL!!!!! PLEASE TRY OTHER HOLISTIC METHODS. THIS IS NOT GOOD F 28 2 months

 2  Treat bleeding due to cysts Feel really blah. Depressed and angry. Not myself at all. Frustrated because my insurance will only cover a certain dose of birth control. Too low and they won't cover it. I'm not even trying to prevent pregnancy. Just trying to control bleeding due to cysts. F 47 4 weeks

 1  Prevent pregnancy The most terrible depression, anxiety, and panic attacks I've ever had. When I began taking the medication I was also on anti-depressants for my postpartum depression so I didn't really notice how bad the depressive episodes were but I stopped taking my anti-depressants about a month ago. Ever since I have had suicidal ideations, the most negative self demeaning thoughts of ever experienced. Today I haven't been able to get out of bed or too much and I have an 11 month old. So I started researching my medications and what possibly could help me feeling this way and I found the site. I am so shocked at all the women who had similar experiences. They need to take this medication and throw it in the trash. Do not take this medication, way too many women experience severe depression, and anxiety. Ask your medical provider for a different medication! F 33 7 weeks

 1  Pregnancy prevention Mood swings, cramps, anxiety, depression, random spotting I have been on this pill for 3 months. I have had cramps the whole three months of taking this. I have also had random spotting for 2 weeks straight. Recently I have felt very alone and will just cry for no reason. I was about ready to make an appointment to see a therapist but doing the research it's because of the pill. F 31 3 months

 1  Contraception After a week of taking this pill I started developing acne on my shoulders and back, bleeding and cramping, and then nausea and severe dizziness. I could handle the breakthrough bleeding and acne, but almost passing out in public and feeling so nauseous and lightheaded all day long was a big no for me. I used to be on BC pills a few years ago and never had any negative side effects, but junel fe 1/20 was HORRIBLE for me! F 30 11 days

 5  To improve my acne and regulate periods Improved acne and has made my periods lighter and regular. I started taking this bc my Paragard IUD has given me terrible acne and very heavy periods. But the IUD is a great birth control so I continue taking it. I started Junel 1 year ago and can now give an honest review of it. The first month was hell! I experienced a period the entire month along with cramps. I stuck with it though since I've read many reviews about your body taking time to adjust. After that initial hell, it's been great. My acne, which used to cover my whole face, is down to 1 blemish every now and then. My acne scars are going away and I don't even wear makeup anymore. My periods are very regular. I have my period the 3rd week of the pack, which is odd but it's consistent that way. Periods do usually last the whole week but they are not heavy anymore. All except for a few days I can get away with just wearing a panty liner. I did not gain much weight. Maybe 5 pounds but I'm a skinny person and look healthier now instead of "too skinny". One thing I have learned and cannot emphasize enough is for the love of God do not miss a pill. I have all alarm on my phone that goes off at the same time everyday and still managed to miss a pill. This has happened 3 times in the last year and it messes everything up. If you miss a pill, you will have a period for weeks. I keep mine in my purse now since my purse is everywhere I am. That way if I'm out at dinner when the alarm goes off I don't forget by time I get home. It's always with me. My alarm goes off at 6 pm F 32 1 years

To be honest, I'm not really concerned about the side effects, just the fact that I won't get pregnant and it's done it's job so far. F 15 5 months
