| 1 | birth control | I have experienced many negative side effects from this pill. It started with terrible migraines w/ aura, then came nausea, fatigue, breast tenderness, very irritable, and the worst part..I bled for 18 days straight and now I bleed on and off every couple of days. I also never break out and all of a sudden I'm breaking out and eating everything in sight. My wedding is in 2 months I pray my body is back to normal by then. No more Junel Fe for me!! | F | 24 | 4 months | 1/22/2014 | 1 | Birth control | NO SEX DRIVE I have no desire to have sex and it decreased my vaginal fluids, it also makes me very emotional | F | 17 | 8 months | 1/16/2014 | 1 | pcos | Weight gain loss of sex desires miss period head aches etc | F | 33 | 1 days 25 mg | 1/5/2014 | 1 | Premenopausal | Loss of sex drive and blood clots formed, which went to my lung. (Death). Doctors told me only 1% survive. Too many hormones in it vs 20 yrs ago.and if you smoke (which I don't) the risk is higher and leading cause of young women dying. PLEASE find an alternative to a birth control pill!! | F | 45 | 4 months | 1/2/2014 | 1 | prevent pregnancy and to help perio | I've been fighting a lot with my boyfriend because of my terrible mood swings, seriously so bad. I'll start crying about the littlest things and freak out about nothing. I have no desire to have sex, I've been on it for seven months and this started a couple months ago and I had no idea why, I felt crazy. until I read other reviews on this birth control. I'm setting up an appointment immediately to get off it. | F | 18 | 8 months | 12/29/2013 | 1 | Birth Control, Cramps, Acne, Etc | Depression, anxiety, no sex drive, EXTREMELY emotional, breast tenderness, loss of interest in everything, extremely early/long periods, cramps. | I was actually really worrying about my sex drive until I read this. I was questioning the sexual relationship and my attraction to my boyfriend, who I was in LOVE with before this pill, started pointless fights with him, and would cry at the drop of a hat. He said something about my driving and I burst into tears... Oops. All I wanted to do was lay in bed, eat chocolate, and watch Long Island Medium. This is the WORST birth control I have ever taken (and the third) and I am switching IMMEDIATELY. Seriously, take anything else. | F | 20 | 2 months 20 1X day | 12/17/2013 | 5 | acne | The first week was terrible, was nauseous like never before in my life and I have 2 kids! But when going on week 2 it went away and never came back! No other side effects for me and I definitely see my face clearing up after it breaking out like crazy for 3 weeks. So I would definitely recommend these BC pills. | F | 33 | 1 months 1 a day | 12/3/2013 | 1 | Regulate periods | Breasts became tender and I felt sick to my stomach most days. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL! | F | 21 | 1 days | 12/2/2013 | 1 | pregnancy prevention, clear up skin | first time on birth control. i was fine till the end of the second week. really bad, irritating nausea. never threw up though. and TERRIBLE cramping. like hardcore. wouldnt even call it cramping, just this never ending pain in my uterus that only subsides when i practically overdose on ibuprofen. and pepto. and soup. and my rice sock. wouldnt wish this pain and discomfort on my worst enemy. | no bueno. on to the next one. | F | 20 | 16 days 1X day | 12/2/2013 | 3 | Regulate menstral cycle | Lighter period | F | 37 | 10 days | 10/20/2013 | 1 | Reduce Cramps, prevent pregnancy | Continuous cramping and spotting. Was on Loestrin 24 FE and hadn't had a period in almost 2 years. I started taking this because it was discontinued and had one. I'm going back to Loestrin | F | 23 | 2 months 20 | 10/11/2013 | 4 | Period, and sex | It helped A LOT with the amount of bleeding and cramps. I used to bleed so much and it was heavy and I'd cramp so bad I'd always cry but now it's way better. I rarely cramp and even when I do it's not like it used to be. I break out like I normally would. It's not very bad though. My boobs have gotten a little bigger. I never feel or get sick from taking the pill. And I always start my cycle like the second day of the placebo pills. | F | 18 | 4 months 1/20 | 10/4/2013 | 1 | Acne/anxiety/to regulate period | This was awful. I got the generic of Junel, which is/was Gildess, and I immediately started getting headaches and became moody and had breast soreness. | My doctor told me I'd have some "light spotting" and less than two weeks in I got my period so bad I was out of work for three days and doubled over in pain - it was the heaviest flow I've EVER seen/experienced. That has pretty much stopped, but the moodiness is terrible - I am edgy and ready to snap and scream at anyone for anything and my anxiety is through the ROOF. After 3 weeks it should NOT be this awful - I am stopping this medication and refuse to risk it any further. It is causing me to lash out at co-workers and friends for no reason - it's not me. I would go back to LoLoEstrin if I could afford it (it's $150 for 3 month supply vs the Junel being free for 3 month supply). I do NOT recommend this medication. | F | 31 | 3 weeks 1 tab 1X day | 9/10/2013 | 1 | regulate irregular period | Lightheaded, weight loss, no appetite, nauseous, no sex drive, I had 3 long periods in 2 months. Super Moody. Terrible. Never again. | F | 23 | 2 months | 9/5/2013 | 5 | To prevent pregnancy | I've read the reviews other women experienced, but to me I didn't experience Any side effect except I don't have a period.. Which I love btw.. I've been on a few different ones over the years and for me this is the best one Ive had. | F | 33 | 3 years 20 | 8/24/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | Horrible mood swings. Felt annoyed by anything and everything. Would cry for little to no reason. Frequently felt very depressed. Increase in acne. | F | 30 | 2 months 1X day | 8/21/2013 | 2 | BC, Acne | I'm experiencing bloating, mood swings, foul odor, lower pains, tenderness in my breast, makes me sick to my stomach and I'm spotting for nothing. I hate this pill, it clears up my acne but its painful to have sex. I'm off of this pill aidos Junel Fe. Guess I gotta start rapping it up with my man. | F | 18 | 3 weeks 1/20 | 8/14/2013 | 1 | Regualate period/birth control | COMPLETE loss of sex drive: started to ruin my relationship with my boyfriend of 7 years. SERIOUS weight gain: about 25 pounds in one year. VERY moody: started to become withdrawn and was very short tempered. ALWAYS tired: no matter how much sleep I got I could never get enough. I would NEVER EVER recommend this pill. It started to ruin my relationships and not to be too dramatic, but it was slowly starting to ruin my life. It does horrible things to your body. I have been taking birth control for over six years and this is by far the worst I have ever taken!! | Please do not take it!!! | F | 21 | 1 years 1X day | 8/14/2013 | 2 | Prevent Pregnancy. | Always tired, breast tenderness, no sex drive whatsoever, nausea... Awful pill all around. | F | 18 | 3 weeks 20 mg | 8/8/2013 | 2 | heavy period | 15lbs weight gain bloating, mood swings, long periods. Feeling depressed | F | 30 | 6 months | 8/4/2013 |
