Prevent pregnancy & weight loss
Started taking this pill exactly 6 months ago. Let me just say that this is the WORST birth control ever. The first whole month I experienced the most painful cramps and depression. I couldn't leave my bed for weeks. I've gained 25 lbs in 6 months, got acne and it completely destroyed my sex drive. I would not recommend this pill to anyone.
This is truly the worst birth control ever. I used the NuvaRing (which is great btw) in the past until I decided to switch to pills and this is by far the worst pill I've ever been on. Stay away!!! Do your research.
Acne as an almost 30 year old adult... 15 lbs in 3 months. Food cravings. Spotting a week before my period which essentially makes my period almost 14 days.... just terrible.
Weight gain, food cravings, mood swings and fatigue
Gained about 30 pounds since started this and have little to no energy to do anything and I get a lot of food cravings
Amazing!!!! Weight loss, no cramping, lighter/shorter periods, clearer skin, awesome energy & extremely high sex drive! Probably the best birth control pill I've ever been on!
MONO-LINYAH (ETHINYL ESTRADIOL; NORGESTIMATE): 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)

Initially, insomnia and nervousness on only 5 mg day. Got jittery if I had a single cup of coffee. Very sleepy during the day. Have vivid dreams and have great difficulty waking up in the mornings (used to be an early riser).About 4 weeks into treatment I started to reduce my dose and had a violent/ siucidal reaction one day which I didn't connect with the Prozac at the time. It was out of character for me and now that i have read about this kind of side effect i understand what happened to me. Other side effects - lack of appetite, weight loss, mild headaches, broken capillaries in my skin, oily skin,often shaking my foot or twiddling fingers, general lack of interest in achieving things.

Started Tamiflu yesterday for the flu and got insomnia, could not sleep. Today I feel very nervous and my heart rate is up. My stomach is also bothering me. Will not take another pill. Ugh
This drug did help with my anxiety a little bit in the sense that the physical symptoms of anxiety disappeared. I still worried as much as ever, but I didn't get as many of the physical symptoms of anxiety as I used to such as rapid heart beat, palms sweating, extreme nervousness, etc. I honestly believe the physical symptoms only went away because my body was too exhausted to experience them. Remeron puts you in a zombie like state. I took it at night as directed and would be unable to stay awake any longer within 15 minutes of taking the drug. My 2 year old son would come climb into my bed in the middle of the night and it wouldn't wake me. Getting out of bed in the morning was next to impossible, and I went through each day feeling like I didnt care about anything besides getting back to sleep. Concentrating or being a good employee is next to impossible on remeron. Now the dreams....they sucked. I had the CRAZIEST dreams on Remeron. I would wake up just feeling disturbed and having no idea why I was dreaming about those things. Luckily, I was too much of a zombie to stay awake and stress over them. Overall, this drug wasn't worth the mild relief of anxiety it gave me.
This drug sent me into the worst hell of my life. I did not even want to take it. I had been taking my son's adderal and it was working, but when I went to the shrink because of a family history of BiPolar he prescribed this. After I took it I felt like I had BiPolar The withdrawal got so bad I started taking prozac which made it so I had absolutey no thoughts in my mind at all. It must have been a weird interaction of the two because I took prozac many years ago fo postpartum depression and I was fine. Well then I was told by a pharmacist to stop taking my reglan(stomach medicine} which causes anxiety. this caused my reflux to act up so bad it damaged my eustacian tubes which caused ringing in my ears which made me even crazier. I was so suicidal. I am lucky I have kids because I would never hurt them by killing myself. I was afraid to go into the hospital to be put on more crap that would make me even crazier. Well my ear ringing is finally better and I am off all medication
