| 5 | Postmenopausal symptoms | I have a disease called Empty Sella Syndrome & basically my Pituitary gland is flattened by an enlarged brain making my horomes non-existent & have no estrogen. I was miserable for a long time. They started me on Estrogen/progesterone tablets but it did nothing to increase my estrogen because it was not absorbing through my stomach due to my Gastroparesis, then they switched me to Estrogen injections/Progesterone tablets which increased my estrogen but after a month or so I ended up getting my period for 4 months straight & nothing was stopping it & if I missed my injections I would be miserable with mood swings, hot flashes, & exhaustion. Turned out this was because the injections were making my estrogen to high. I then started Junel Fe 24 & was able to stop the Injections/Progesterone & only have to take the Junel Fe 24. I have no more postmenopausal symptoms & my period only comes on the designated days. This medication changed my life for the better when nothing else was working! | Changed my life for the better couldnt live without it! | F | 35 | 7 months 24 | 2/20/2020 | 2 | Recommended by OBGYN | The only thing I can say that I liked about this pill was that it didn't make me feel anxious and depressed like most birth control does. However, I've been having severe vaginal dryness to the point where sex is unbearable. My periods are extremely irregular. Literally 2 sets of periods a month that both last about 4 days. Breasts constantly ache. I've gained about 15 lbs since taking this, but I'm not sure if the pills to blame. Diet and exercise aren't helping. Acne isn't better or worse, so I'm thankful it hasn't made that worse. | F | 23 | 6 months | 2/18/2020 | 1 | contraceptive | weight gain, hair loss, terrible mood swings, hungry all the time, migraines | I have been on this pill for 2 years now. After the first year and a half, things were going great and I had no side effects. After the 2 year mark, I began getting terrible period cramps, cystic acne (which is very painful), migraines, hair loss, as well as depression and anxiety. I would not recommend this pill to anyone. It's the worst birth control pill to be on and I feel sorry for everyone who's been on it or currently on it and have these same side effects. | F | 19 | 2 years | 2/15/2020 | 2 | Birth control | Extreme depression and anxiety Cramps everyday Slight weight gain—not sure if it’s from the depression it’s causing or the pill itself | F | 25 | 56 days | 2/8/2020 | 1 | birth control | extreme anxiety. sense of impending doom out of nowhere, everyday. headaches. irregular heartbeat; racing and beating so hard it felt like it was going to beat out of my chest. nausea and stomach discomfort. | F | 25 | 9 days 1/20mcg 1X day | 1/21/2020 | 1 | Hormone regulation | Severe anger, noticeable pelvic bloating, severe pain in hip that shoots to the knee prior to periods and during, breakthrough bleeding, weight gain, and diagnosed with stage 3 liver disease at age 32 which is also conveiniently listed as a side effect. (I do not drink alcohol at all!) I am quitting tonight. If I've only got an estimated 5-8 years to live then I'll be damned if I'm as miserable as I am while on this God forsaken pill; and frankly, it should be criminal that it's even being produced and dispensed to any human being at all. | F | 32 | 2 years | 1/16/2020 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | Vag dryness severe depression decreased sex drive | This pill is terrible the first couple months were going well but now I have no sex drive always moody and depressed and severe vag dryness stop the pill today hoping symptoms disappear | 30 | 11 months | 1/13/2020 | 1 | Birth control | Severe constant cramping and breakouts. I have had severe cramps in my ovaries for a week straight and breakouts on my face, which I never get. | F | 29 | 22 days | 12/23/2019 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | -EXTREME bloting - to the point I would cry because I felt so ugly -headaches -dryness -low sex drive -no period at all -overly sad and mad -tired | Honestly the only good thing about this medicine was the fact that I never got my period. It saved me a lot of money but I stopped taking it for a year and it was the best year I had in a while. I have since decided I should go back on the pill and it has been a month and omg I feel awful. I feel so fat and ugly and I have gained 5 pounds. My stomach looks as if I’m pregnant and I’ve had a headache for three days. This medicine does the job but at what cost? Not worth it! | F | 21 | 1 years | 12/16/2019 | 3 | Contraception | I have been thinking that something is seriously wrong with me until I read the many comments of the other women that have been through hell with this pill. I have experienced everything under the sun from nausea everyday to having complete meltdowns for no reason. The depression and anxiety have been worse these past few months. Recently, I have been dealing with anger issues that completely take over me. I feel like I could snap at any minute and I knew this something that had to do with my hormones being out of control. I have also had troubles with low sex drive and vaginal dryness. Somedays I wake up very sad like something is wrong for no reason. I am seeing my doctor ASAP after reading all the comments that sound like story. | F | 21 | 2 years | 12/7/2019 | 1 | Stop irregular periods | Headache, extreme anxiousness, very upset stomach, insomnia, heart palpitations and hot flashes. | I had to stop this medication after 2 days. The anxiousness was out of control and the heart palpitations were terrible. | F | 36 | 2 days | 12/4/2019 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | I was fine the first year with this medication although my breasts hurt so bad. Then i started to get irritable and moody. I was sad all the time and didnt have any reason for it. No family history of depression or anxiety. I cant even take my bra off without my breasts hurting. I have a headache everyday. My acne is uncontrollable and I have never had bad acne besides a few pimples here and there. | F | 20 | 2 years 20MG | 11/5/2019 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy and clear skin | Pelvic cramping, abdominal pain, intense hunger, weight gain with no change in diet or exercise. More frequent headaches and mood swings. No periods for 3 months then an extremely terrible period. This pill made it so painful to have sex and I was ‘diagnosed’ with Pelvic Floor dysfunction. But after stopping this pill and getting Kyleena, less than a month later I was losing weight, pelvic cramping and pain gone and sex was not painful and vaginal dryness was gone. Ladies if you have any of these symptoms get off this pill and see if things get better. This pill was the worst pill ever! | F | 21 | 1 years | 11/4/2019 | 1 | Period regulation | I only too this for one day. I’ve been through enough medications to know when something is not going to be right for me. Immediately made me dizzy, heart racing and stomach pains. I felt like I was on some type of drug. Enough for me to stop and not continue. | F | 48 | 1 days 30mg | 8/4/2019 | 2 | Pcos | Nausea/ violent& extremely painful vomiting the first week, thought it was from me drinking alcohol but I stopped and the feelings still came. Skin looks pretty clear I’m usually easily irritated but this pill is making me very moody. | I started taking This the Sunday my period started. I’ve now been bleeding for 11 days and haven’t even gotten to the brown pills (menstrual usually lasts 4 days). I was on the nuvaring last year from feb-July and it gave me BV EVERY month so this is a little better. But I’ve been bleeding heavy for a while now and I really hope it stops. | F | 21 | 14 days | 7/24/2019 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy mood stabilizer | In the beginning nothing and now nothing.. Which is shocking because I get every side effect under the sun from every medication | Started taking this because every other birth control made me into a basket case and made me break out, I started realizing.. this pill actually stabilized my mood after all these years of wild mood swings and crying and sometimes being down right awful to my s.o if I miss a few days I notice the next morning I feel off and have anxiety, I take my dose and after a day or two I feel totally level again... this medicine is improving my life in ways I never thought it could | F | 26 | 1 years Not sure | 7/13/2019 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy / Better Period | At first i experienced Nausea, spotting , but it all went away in the first 2 months of taking it. I experience alot Of migraines, mood swings , WEIGHT GAIN. | F | 19 | 7 months | 7/8/2019 | 1 | To help with acne | I already have anxiety and depression, but this medication has made it extreme and spiral out of control. I haven’t had a serious panic attack until last night and it continued until I threw up. I am anxious at all times of day. I cry so easily. I am in a long distance relationship and this has put a strain on it. I go in and out of questioning my emotions and if I’m happy, if he even loves me, if he’s going to leave me, about 1000x a day when I felt secure and head over heels in love before I started this medication. This medication is awful and has brought me to the point of pure panic and emotional break downs. I’m stopping it cold turkey today and can only hope I will get back to how I was. | Emotional wreck. Panic attacks. Depression. Hasn’t helped acne much. 10lbs weight gain. | F | 22 | 2 months 1 x D | 6/25/2019 | 1 | Birth Control recommended by OBGYN | At 45 I know what regular is and this birth control makes you irregular! I had periods, I had issues with blemishes under my skin, gaining weight. Do not take this! Lots of complications, there many other Alternatives in the marketplace. Do not take these! | M | 45 | 2 months 20MCG | 4/9/2019 | 1 | Birth control | Read the reviews before I started but still decided to give it a try, because my OBGYN recommended it. TERRIBLE. I have been on it for 10 months now. I have gained weight (15+ lbs.) without changing diet/lifestyle. I now have ovarian cysts which I have never had before now; extremely painful. My sex drive is nonexistent - not normal for a 22 year old. I get my period sometimes twice in one month, sometimes I do not get it for 3 months at a time which is scary! I have also developed deep, cystic-like acne which I never had before. I have so much anxiety I feel like all I can do is stay in bed - breathing is difficult and I constantly feel a pressure on my chest. I would not recommend this pill to my worst enemy. Please do not be like me and ignore the negative reviews - if you have been prescribed this, switch and save yourself the pain and suffering. | F | 22 | 10 months 1x/day | 1/28/2019 |
