Contrary to what most of these reviews say, my use of Safryal has been satisfactory. My periods are lighter and last about 6 days, I'm no moodier than normal, and I have not noticed any side effects. However, I did gain a few pounds but nothing too drastic.

I have not enjoyed taking this BC pill and agree with the other users that are dissatisfied. After switching from a low estrogen pill this made me gain weight, be more irritable, and sex drive has been lower .

I have been on this pill for 6 months. Felt great for first several months. I was worried about gaining weight but exercise regularly and didn't think I would have any problems. Have been on many BC pills in past with no weight gain. In the beginning my breasts increased in size and were tender about a week before my period.

I have been on this pill for 6 months. Felt great for first several months. I was worried about gaining weight but exercise regularly and didn't think I would have any problems. Have been on many BC pills in past with no weight gain. In the beginning my breasts increased in size and were tender about a week before my period. Now after my 6 month on this pill I am seriously considering stopping it. I have gone from 115lbs to 119.5 lbs. I have breast tenderness and abdominal cramping/discomfort for almost the entire month. I have also felt more emotional/anxious than usual. I just don't like how I feel on this pill. I have not had breakthrough bleeding on safyral (which is why I changed pills) but the body discomfort (ie breast tenderness and abdominal bloat/crampiness/pain) is way worse.

I am a first time Safyral user and I am thinking about stopping. I am now on day 14 of my period. My doctor says it's normal, but I don't feel that it is! This is crazy!!!

I hate to rate a birth control after only after a little over two weeks of taking it but I thought it might help someone else. I had to stop taking it because of SEVERE ACNE. I had acne in my teens and twenties and had to take Accutane twice. Since then I have not had very much acne at all.

I hate to rate a birth control after only after a little over two weeks of taking it but I thought it might help someone else. I had to stop taking it because of SEVERE ACNE. I had acne in my teens and twenties and had to take Accutane twice. Since then I have not had very much acne at all. As soon as I started this pill my face started breaking out and not little pimples. These were huge cystic bumps that don't pop they just look and feel awful. I even broke out on my neck. I have found no matter what age its very embarrassing. I tried to wait it out but couldn't take the new zits popping up overnight :/ I also noticed increased facial hair. Now that I have stopped the pill I'm having no more breakouts and slowly they are going away. Other than that I had no nausea but I did feel bloated. Again I only took this for a little over two weeks so please take that into consideration.
