Side Effects for Enskyce (desogestrel; ethinyl estradiol)
Emotional instability, lost all patience (usually I'm a very patient person, especially with our daughter), deep depression
I refuse to ever go near this medication again. My pharmacist said they recently had a couple other women with the same complaints. I switched to Sprintec (which I had taken prior to our first in vitro attempt) and did much better!
ENSKYCE (DESOGESTREL; ETHINYL ESTRADIOL): 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)

I was taking Nexium to help reduce chest pain my Dr. thought was brought on by GERD. The joint paid showed up the second week of taking one pill a day and the chest pain was still present. My Dr. told me to start taking 2 pills a day, which I did for just over one day when I got the worst flu symptoms I have ever known, with sweats, chills, vomitting, and diarrhea. I stopped taking all meds for several days until I felt better. I have not taken Nexium since, but did try taking a related drug, Prilosec. I got joint pain on the 4th day and stopped taking it on the 5th day. The joint pain cleared in 2 days.
It helped me tremendously after about 3 weeks of starting it. It's been years now, and I'm still taking the same dosage. So I really wonder if, at this point, it's still effective or if it's just in my head. Either way, I guess it's working! Also, my Dr. doubles my prescription and I cut them in half. That way, even though I have insurance, I pay for one month and it lasts two. I have also gained weight while taking Paxil. My Dr. has mentioned changing med. but I'm a little leary of it.
This drug causes Pulmonary Fibrosis after long term use. I now have the disease. Was not explained to me at the time or they did not know then.Google Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and look under causes.I don't recommend you take this long term.
