Dizziness, cramps, spotting, increased discharge and acne
I stopped using it and I went back to Oralcon and everything has been okay
Mood swings, depressed, very low sex drive, my husband noticed that I was changing to. Didn't realize it until I noticed that I really didn't want my husband to touch me, and we were never like that. Then I read the reviews I was in shock. I'm not taking one more pill. My husband agrees.
Extreme moods wings,very tender breasts,very much bloated and decreasedy sex drive.
I've experienced some scary blood clots with my menstruation, my face covered with pimples, mood swings and low Sex drive
Extreme anxiety, depression, extreme mood swings, low libedo.
After i started taking this i noticed that i started getting depressed. The depression turned into having mild anxiety attacks around the placebo week. I thought i would give it a few months. The anxiety lessoned but the mood swswings are horrific. I have stopped taking them because i feel it has changed my attitude and i do not like the person i have become. I am not myself on these pills. Id much rather deal with the pain from a cyst bursting than this emotional roller coaster.
I have been taking the generic version for 3 months.Acne right away (I rarely have had acne in my life), dizzy spells, mood swings, depression. I have never had noticeable side effects form any other birth control.
Depression, anxiety, aggression, weepy, moody, irritable...NOT HAPPY
These pills caused a hormone embalance in me. I gained about 15 lbs in 2 months, had extreme fluid retention, no sex drive, mood swings, migraines, and caused my breasts to sag. I do not recommend these pills as the side effects are not worth it. If I wanted that much stress I would have had a kid!
Severe headache nd my breast are shining as if m preg
weight gain, decreased sex drive, lethargic
My periods are extremely light compared to when I was on Ortho-cept. They are so light that it concerns me. I was on Ortho-cept for 10 years and no problems but my clinic stopped carrying it. I may try to get it somewhere else.
The decision to stop taking this pill came when I realized that even I didn't like the "new" me. Not saying that it is the same in everyone, but this pill gave me severe mood swings and I snapped at the least little thing. I am going back to Nordette 28.
birth control, heavy periods, acne
As long as I take the brand version of this pill (not the generic) I have no side effects after the first month or two. First two months I had some problems with mood swings but nothing else. I find that my sex drive is affected negatively from the generic version but I don't seem to have as much of a problem with the brand version. I also get some other undesirable side effects from the generic - mood problems especially. I've taken two different kinds of generic pills for this drug and while one was better than the other, I still don't do as well on them.
This has been the best pill for me. I took it for about 3 years but then tried some others due to sex drive issues. I've tried Ovcon-35, Estrostep, OTC lo, and Yaz. I liked OTC lo A LOT and it was great for my sex drive, but it took my acne from mild to severe and I'm still trying to recover. I did not do well on any of the other pills. I went back to Lo/Ovral 3 months ago. It is a bit expensive for me because I will only take the brand name, but it's worth it.
birth control/ cycle regulation
headaches and moodiness during inactive week of pills. slight weight gain.

depression, moodiness, headaches, acne
I couldn't stand the side effects, though it did fix my spotting and cramps.
Severe mood swings and moodiness, laziness, extreme exhaustion constantly (no matter how much sleep is obtained), insomnia, acne, possible weight gain (I don't have a scale!).
I was on Kariva (generic of Mircette), but due to depression and sever moodiness/mood swings I stopped taking it. I was then put on Lo/Ovral-28 (actually the generic, Lo-Ogestrel). Most of my issues had gone away before starting the Lo/Ovral but quickly came back from THIS pill.

Caused way more problems than cured. Was never informed of side effects. Thought I was going crazy
This is next time this year with the flu, and my next time taking the Tamiflu. The first time I took it with in two days I felt better, but both times I haven't been able to sleep, but I'm so sleepy I can't sleep, and this next time I'm extrmely itchy, and it's horrible. I feel like my skin is crawling. I've used all kinds of anti itch cream, and it's still not helping.

LEVING BEHIND IT RED, BLOODY AND ULTRASENSITIVE SKIN-- THE WARTS THAT WERE SMALL, SKIN COLORED AND BARELY NOTICABLE ARE NOW BRIGHT RED HUGE AND DISGUSTING LOOKINGIT FEELS LIKE MY PENIS AND SCROTUM IS ON FIRE....DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY
Ringing and incredible pressure in my ears, spike upward in blood pressure from 118/75 to 168/102. Severe anxiety and feeling totally detached from reality, nausea and total fatigue. Bad med!! Going back to saline nasal spray and nasal irrigation to clean my sinuses. This holistic approach to allergy patients is proven. This stuff is poison and physicians should warn their patients about the side effects.
So far its been ok, periods have been regular, but my breasts have been extremely sore since about the 2nd or 3rd week of taking it.
I used to be able to take this and have no problem. The past 2 days I have had bad sinus pressure and the first night I took benadryl I just felt a little sleep the next day. Day 2 completely different. I feel very weak, fast heart rate, feels like the room is spinning. I feel like I am not in my own body. Well I won't be taking this anymore. I will find something different .
Trisprintec--lighter periods, less cramping, clearing up of my face...basically all the positive a birth control is supposed to do.Tri nessa--bloating, extra cramping, more acne, crazy mood swings, tender breasts, nausea, lack of sexual desire.
I got through one 10 day course with few problems. But a few days later I had to start again. Two hours after one pill I started to itch. Within a few more hours my temperature was up to 101, I had chills almost like convulsions, and I vomited several times. The next day my doctor put me on Benadryl and the symptoms cleared up.
Worked for ED. Weighing benefits versus negatives.
Wonderful product - very grateful. Fixed dryness problem and helped somewhat with hot flashes, though that's not in the label.
