I've almost been taking this pill for a week now and I've been experiencing severe headaches, nausea and horrible mood swings. I have felt so bloated and tired since I started taking this. Everyone's body is different. Just wanted to share my experience. I won't be taking this anymore.

I have been on this for around 7 months now, and it has made my life miserable. Within the first month of taking it, I noticed really bad emotional side effects. I've never even been super emotional, but all of a sudden I would start crying over absolutely anything, become EXTREMELY depressed for days at a time, and have fits of anger and rage at the slightest inconveniences.

I have been on this for around 7 months now, and it has made my life miserable. Within the first month of taking it, I noticed really bad emotional side effects. I've never even been super emotional, but all of a sudden I would start crying over absolutely anything, become EXTREMELY depressed for days at a time, and have fits of anger and rage at the slightest inconveniences. I also noticed a weight gain after the first three or so months. I have always been extremely active and health-conscious, and yet I still have gained around 15lbs. It has been a nightmare. It also made my acne horrible for the four or so three months. It is a little better now, but I always have at least one breakout area on my face. Always. I didn't want to go off of it because it took away my terrible cramps, but it just isn't worth dealing with all the terrible side effects anymore. I have been an emotional train wreck ever since I began taking this birth control, and I cannot wait to gain back control of my life once I am off of the pill.

My doctor recommended this brand because she said it has a lower dosage and people are supposed to have less symptoms. But that just hasn't been the case with me.

I've been taking this birth control for a month now and it has been an awful experience. I've been extremely tired and have had severe cramps. I've also felt extremely nauseous and have gotten sick a lot. I felt pretty awful towards the middle of the month and thought it would get better if I kept taking it but symptoms have just gotten worse. Going to stop taking it and try a different brand. Can't stand feeling this sick anymore.

I have only been taking this birth control for about 9 days, but I am already satisfied with my results. I switched to Loestrin from the Nuvaring because I was experiencing some pretty severe side effects. I'm noticing side effects from Loestrin as well, but they are MUCH more tolerable: slight nausea in the first couple days of starting and some spotting. No mood swings or depression, sex dri ...

I started taking this BC after taking Yaz which worked better for me but kept here horror stories about it so I had to switch. I was on this BC for abou three months and bleed almost every single day from it. It also made me feel very depressed.
