This medicine has served as a great birth control/contraceptive but has been absolutely terrible otherwise. I just finished my 4th month on this pills and have finally realized that the severe mood swings (crying spells) and bad headaches throughout the month are NOT worth it.

I have been on 2 other birth control pills and neither one of them made me feel like I was literally going crazy. I will breakdown over the smallest things and it's just not normal. My GYN said many people have reported terrible mood swings while on this medication and I'm happy to be changing to something new.

I have experienced a lot of bloating and stomach pain with this medication. I've experienced nausea and diarrhea, as well as sore breasts. It is also a very costly medication despite the fact that there is nothing particularly special about it other than having folic acid. I switched to a new medication a month after starting Safyral.

Since starting this birth control, my self esteem has plummeted due to my weight gain. I always feel bloated and crave sweets, and have headaches from time to time. Finally, my sex drive isn't the same. I feel like a man with ED. However, my periods are not as heavy, but i'll take heavy periods any day to taking this birth control.

I began Safyral for the purposes of birth control. I have taken Safyral for 3 months,and I am making the decision to discontinue this due to issues with acne. My skin has gone from clear, to severely scarred with hyperpigmentation from the acne that has come an gone. I have seen 2 dermatologist, and after 4 prescriptions, it will temporarily clear up and new acne forms. The acne that forms is not typical acne, they are actually knots that can't be burst and it has affected my self-esteem and is making me depressed considering I've never really had skin issues. So after giving it a chance, seeing the dermatologist without being satisfied with my results, I'm putting Safyral in the trash...and attempt to find something to get my skin back to normal.
