Side Effects for Lybrel (ethinyl estradiol; levonorgestrel)
I had a horrible first month on it. After that no issues. Love it
Pros: Helped migraines.Loved not having a periodCons: major hair loss over time. Use to have very thick hair, so I wasn't concerned at first, until 2/3 of it was gone. Hair everywhere all the time.Loss of libido.
I was very excited when this came out and went on it the first month it was on the market. It has been a double edged sword for me - I have a love hate relationship with it. Trying some other birth controls to see if my hair will come back. May be keeping me from losing weight (body build, run, HITT good diet). But not sure.

Prior to taking Lamictal, I was in a deep depression. This medicine has been a life saver.
Without taking Miralax, I used to have a very hard time and even bleeding. Bleeding stopped magically after Dr. T in Stanford suggested I take 2 X 17g per day. I am afraid for long term effect, but it is better than bleeding and staying in the washroom 2 hours!
Broke out in a terrible rash, started on my back and went all over my body. Completely killed my libido, no desires in that area whatsoever.
3rd Moderna Booster. Feb.17, 2023 at doctor’s office.I thought i had sinusitis in Nov. 2022, tested positive at hospital ER for COVID. Only 4 hours in hospital. Lung X-ray clear. Intense pain and fever. Sent home w prescriptions.
Its a horrible thing to have to take and its a life sentance but if you weigh up the pros & cons my experience is that its worth taking the risk. For me, its meant having an almost normal quality of life and has made the management of the two incurable diseases bearable.
It's my first day using it,I applied it about 30 minutes ago,it was fine until about 5 or 6 minutes after I have applied it and then it started burning an itching like crazy
Horrible side effects included extreme agitated somnolence/Akathisia. These side effects were so severe I would describe them as my idea of what going to hell would be. I couldn't do anything except sleep and ended up in the ER the day I returned to work because heart rate was racing and felt like I was suffocating ready to pass out.
Swollen belly, real gurgley belly, lots churning and starving but struggle to eat, very similar to morning sickness, generally feel crap and soon as start taking you pray will feel better but toothache is replaced by feeling rough but still would have this rather than the tooth pain from hell I had before, tired too and indigestion feeling .
Sometimes Small swelling or bruising around the injection site.This medication has given me my life back! I am so grateful :)
Will not have it done again. This is poison.
