This is the worst birth control pill I have ever taken. I haven't found the perfect bc for me yet so my doctor tried me on this one. First of all i have never had ridiculous amounts of acne until this pill. Never had acne on my back until this pill..and it's not just one or two..it's a solid 25 pimples covering my back.

I went from having a 4 day period to a full 7 days period. I did gain a couple of pounds for the short amount of time I was on it..which is frustrating. The main reason for me getting off this pill was because it caused me between 2 and 3 migraines every week. They were so bad that I couldn't even function when I had one. This is definitely an awful pill!!!

This is the worst birth control in existence. If you're taking the other Desogen generics and you suddenly get this in your pharmacy bag do not say "Oh, well I guess it's the same." It's not. I don't know how this got approved by the FDA. I went through one month of the pack and I have completely lost my appetite. I tried to eat some soup today but couldn't keep it do ...

This is the worst birth control in existence. If you're taking the other Desogen generics and you suddenly get this in your pharmacy bag do not say "Oh, well I guess it's the same." It's not. I don't know how this got approved by the FDA. I went through one month of the pack and I have completely lost my appetite. I tried to eat some soup today but couldn't keep it down. I made a HUGE mistake and took the pill without thinking on an empty stomach and have been sick all night and I haven't eaten in two days. Also I havent gotten my period yet and I'm two weeks late. Four negative pregnancy tests and no pregnancy symptoms (I didnt miss any pills). I have terrible mood swings and this is the only change in my life in the past week. If your body is sensitive and you know it pretty well I'd avoid this at all costs because it has driven me crazy. I kept thinking I could be pregnant or have a thyroid issue which made me depressed and miserable. Plus I have acne. AND BACKNE. Yes acne on my back. Never happened in my entire life before now. All in one week. I've been on three other types of birth control before and this is the ONLY one that I've had ANY side effects. I'm so nauseous right now but I had to put up a review in case there's someone like me who might be having the same symptoms.

My doctor for some reason switched me over from Reclipsen to Emoquette and my experience has been bad so far. I've had extremely bad headaches since I started taking it. The last week of the active pills was the worst! I had soreness in my breasts and my stomach was constantly churning and felt acidic. I also was getting cramps and none of this ever happened with Reclipsen. I'm asking my d ... Show Full Comment

The last week of the active pills was the worst! I had soreness in my breasts and my stomach was constantly churning and felt acidic. I also was getting cramps and none of this ever happened with Reclipsen. I'm asking my doctor to switch me back to Reclipsen! Emoquette is not worth it. The pills also have a strange plastic taste to them as the packaging is poor.

The cons: I would get headaches for a week every time I started a fresh pack,gained weight (due to the fact that my appetite increased dramatically like I was eating for 2!)horrible breakouts, terrible water gain during periods and complete exhaustion every day just like a ran a marathon. Pros: Preventing pregnancy. I have taken almost every brand of birth control pill on the market and based on my bodies reactions, my doctor is taking me off of it.

I started taking Emoquette 3 weeks ago after my postpardum appointment. It has been an absolute nightmare!! I have constant headaches, nausea, no energy, acne when I have NEVER broke out before, and I have an appetite like a teenage boy. Also I have had crazy mood swings and been very depressed. To top that it gave me a horrible yeast infection! I dont have time for all this with a 2 year old and ... Show Full Comment
