    I had recently switch birth control since my doctor suggest it since I had random bleeding and my insurance. This is probably my 3rd-4th month of taking this. I absolutely agree with these reviews.. I feel crazy, emotional, not myself, and etc. I have been taking birth control for almost 6 years now and this pill is foresure not it.

    This birthcontrol made my skin clear up and stopped breakouts. It also made my periods extremely regular and a little lighter (took a couple months on it). It didn't cause me weight gain. IT MADE ME CRAZY. Right when I started it I would cry hysterically all the time. Depression and anxiety increased a lot. It made me super stressed all the time and self conscious. Bad mental side effects.

    I was on neocon for 6 years due to very bad menstrual problems and it worked great for me. my doctor switched me to this brand and i absolutely hate it. i stopped taking it after 2 months, it made me so moody and my emotions were completely out of whack. I do not recommend this

    Have been taking Nortrel 1/35 for nine months. Was nauseous for first couple months, but that has gone away. Extremely light, short periods, no weight gain (although I've noticed some water retention in my fingers), keeps my acne away. If you can stomach the first months of nausea this is a really effective pill.
