ELINEST (ETHINYL ESTRADIOL; NORGESTREL): This combination hormone medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains 2 hormones: a progestin and an estrogen. It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. Besides preventing pregnancy, birth control pills may make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease your risk of ovarian cysts, and also treat acne. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

The only side effect, which was a bonus, was loss of appetite. Food lost its flavor and I was able to curb my appetite. I lost about 30 pounds.
I am a rare case do to my high tolerance to seds, hyps, and benzos. These effects may not apply......
Huge improvement over Atripla. Less side effects. Very Mild fatigue. Use with truvada. However Dolutagravir looks promising .
l had constant congestion & extreme mucus build-up that got worse over the years. The Hyzaar did not lower my bp under 150/80 at best. I was put on an additional bp medication. At that time I took myself off Hyzaar & I immediately started to improve. But I've had lung problems ever since.
feeling wiped out, weakness, sleepy a lot, no energy
extreme dry mouth w/ tickle in throat, horrible coughing to gagging, metallic taste, always thirsty, loose stool, muscle aches, headaches, lower abdominal pain and thought it was something else(paranoia), insomnia, vivid dreams, mood swings, depression, cold symptoms....everything!!!!!
I feel a bit better already however I am hoping the side effects will decrease with time. Side effects kicked in 9 hours after the first pill. 10mg.
None. People if you have stomach pain you are sensative to asprine. They make asprin free excedrine.
This medication made me feel absolutely horrible. I felt like I was going to come apart. I got sweaty palms and sweaty feet, nervousness, and anxiety. I felt severely depressed after taking two days worth felt like I was going to come out of my skin.
After taking Clarithromicin, Metronidazole and Nexium for H Pylori and can only describe the last month as hell. The side effects were numerous. Now I am on Lansoprazole 30mg in the morning and Nexium 40mg at night and I am still having a minature hell. The bloating, headaches and frequent urination is driving me nuts. I am going to see my doctor this week and ask her to take me off both these drugs.
