User Reviews for Safyral

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I'll break down my experience with parts of this birth control for you. 1) skin: totally cleared up my skin. EXCELLENT for that. 2) birth control: its the only form of contraceptive I use, and so far...no babies. A . 3) cravings: its hard for me to say, because I've ALWAYS craved carbohydrates and sugar anyways, so. neutral. 4) periods: on time. No break through bleeding. 5) mood: 100% TERRIBLE. I can not emphasize this enough. NOTHING will be wrong in my life, and I literally wont be able to stop crying. Yesterday, I think I started crying at 8am and continued crying at hour intervals until I fell asleep at 9:30pm. I get frustrated now over tiny things. I have mood swings. I act irrationally. But mainly I just cry. ALL. THE. TIME. and I'm just constantly sad.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Only been on this pill a month but it is the only one so far that stopped the irregular bleeding I was having. I have tried Lo Estrin and Kariva and so far this is the winner! I will update after my second pack.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I just finished my first pack. The pros: I've lost 13lbs, my face is less oily, and my mood is better then it was. The cons: I too craved sugar after starting this pill, I had hair loss the first few weeks, my vision has became a problem especially in florescent lighting, started having headaches, I feel more tired and breathing has become heaver then normal, and breast tenderness.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I'm about to finish my first pack and I have mixed reviews. During the first 2 weeks I was craving sugar like crazy. About the third week that calmed down though. I started taking Safyral because I was having break through bleeding with LoEstrin and already Safryal has regulated my period to just the week of my placebo pills. My period started late, but that's not a big deal considering this is my first month on this birth control. The most annoying side effect is the bloating. I don't think I've ever felt this bloated ever and I NEVER get cramps on my period, but I'm having cramps with this pill. I'm sure these symptoms will calm down as my body gets used to it, if not, I'm switching to something different.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Great birth control pill. I use it for contraception (the only form I regularly use) and for polycystic ovarian syndrome symptom management. Prior to trying Safyral I tried two other brands and had horrific side effects. The only one I get on this pill is cravings! Mostly for sugar and sometimes carbs which I try hard to avoid! I would highly recommend this pill!

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I started taking this birth control a while back and then stopped after I completed one cycle. I did have a little weight gain because of the carbohydrate cravings. Breast tenderness and bloating were also a factor. Those were my negatives. The positives for me were age related. I am over 35 and a non-smoker. Therefore, the extra vitamin B and folic acid supplements are excellent. I did stop taking them after the first trial because of the food cravings. After a few months, I decided to try them again. I am on a weight loss plan and have loss weight. I wasn't significantly overweight from the beginning, but needed to drop about fifteen pounds. I reached my goal. My only real concern at this point is will I have the cravings.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: This is my first time using birth control pills. I have been on Safyral for a month and a half. It has cleared up my skin significantly but caused bad mood swings and nausea. I am switching to a new birth control with a lower dose of hormones to help with my mood.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I have been on Safyral for 2 months. I like it a lot so far. I have had some break through bleeding but I think that is because I started the pill in the middle of my cycle, when I had an IUD (Mirenia) removed after 4 years. My skin looks great. I get mild bloating and breast tenderness just before my period which goes away with the start of my period. Nothing majorly inconvenient. I think that after a few months of use when my hormones get back on a normal cycle things will even out.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Two months ago I started taking Safyral because my doctor had high recommendations and gave me three packs for free. I took it for a month and started feeling uncontrollably moody. I want to cry for no reason, and everything I used to love makes me angry and upset. I switched back to my normal birth control after the first pack was done, but then decided to give it another chance since it is free and I wasn't positive that it was the Safyral making me feel this way. Right now I am on my second pack and feel horrible, moody, irritable. On the plus side my breasts got bigger and I'm not pregnant. I'm finishing this pack then switching back to my original again.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Been on this birth control now for 4 months. It works well as it prevents pregnancy, but so far, I've had very heavy periods and severe cramps and tons of chin acne. Yaz never gave me these issues. I want to switch, but doctor told me to give it another 3 months to see what happens. If I still don't like it, then she said I can switch. I must stick it out until then.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I've recently switched to Safyral from Beyaz about two months ago and I love it! I was nervous because I searched the Internet over and over, and only found one good review for this pill so I thought I'd give my experience to people who are wanting to try this. I've had no major issues or changes except positive ones. While taking Beyaz my face was broken out at least with 3-5 blemishes every week, I decided to ask my Obgyn what I should do and as suggested going on Safyral. So I did and I noticed immediate skin clearing. I haven't had one blemish since I started using this stuff. It doesn't affect my mood or personality either! I just feel like myself but with clear skin now! I'd recommend this to anyone!

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I'm only on my first pack but so far I have no negative side effects. This week (week 2) I feel great. I have been on Ortho Tricyclen Low and it gave me horrible mood swings, which this medicine has not. I love it!

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium): I am on my 2nd week and I have the following effects: tender breasts, bad moods, nausea, eating habits changed.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium): This drug did regulate my period, but it also increased my anxiety and sent me to the ER with a massive panic attack. I have always had minor generalized anxiety disorder, but never any panic attacks so severe. They did every test possible to rule out a stroke! If you take this and start to notice an increase in anxiety, I suggest you talk to your doctor.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Was on this pill for 2 months and had extreme mood swings, heavier periods, cramping and acne. I did not experience any weight gain. This is the 3rd pill I have tried but did not like.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I have been on this birth control for about 2 to 3 months. I have TERRIBLE menstrual cramps, acne did clear up. Heavy bleeding during period but no breakthrough bleeding. Not pregnant! VERY MOODY and Cry over sad songs and sad commercials. I'm going back to the doctor in a few weeks and changing.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I have been on this pill for five months now going on 6. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for years, almost 10, then my body started to reject it. But I loved it. Perfectly timed periods and no side effects whatsoever. My doctor switched me to Natazia. Terrible. I had terrible acne and ridiculous bloating and weight gain all in my stomach area. I work out regularly and eat healthy. My only vice is alcohol. So after three months on that pill, I was switched to Safyral. I get very bloated one week before my period. My period is very heavy. I get bad cramps, although this month they seem to have subsided as today is the first of my placebo pills and no cramps this month. But I am very bloated. Acne minimum.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium): Took this for 4 months after having a baby. Having cravings for sugar and carbs. Severe breast tenderness and SEVERE mood swings and depression. I have severe hot flashes and feel like a menopausal woman. They did all kinds of testing on me and said it must be this pill causing it. I'm going off it next week! It has completely changed my personality and made me into an angry hormonal woman with mood swings daily.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Have almost been on Safyral for a year and I love it. I used to have really heavy periods, but I know exactly when I am going to start (usually a Tuesday night to Wednesday morning) and I know I'll stop on Sunday. It's lighter. I have noticed that sometimes my bad cramps I used to have are starting to return. It has definitely kept the babies away which is the reason I went on the birth control and will continue to keep using it.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I have been on Safyral for two months, no babies. I used to have heavy periods but they are lighter now. But I did gain weight, breast got bigger and very tender. My skin is very broken out, have a lot of headaches and nausea.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: The first week, I was convinced I had the flu. I would vomit a few hours after I took the pill and felt lightheaded. I could barely function. That went away and I started getting headaches. Good thing is I didn't gain or lose weight.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I had been taking Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 for 2 years until it started giving me bad cramping and breakthrough bleeding on the active pills. I think my body was starting to reject it or the dosage just wasn't high enough anymore. Then my doctor suggested to try Safyral and gave me 2 free samples. I just finished my first month and it wasn't too bad. The worst side effect I had was nausea. My breasts felt fuller, but they went back to their normal size after my period. My period was lighter and the cramping wasn't that bad. I didn't gain any weight or feel bloated. I will have to see how this next month is...I plan on staying on this pill!

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: I've just finished my first pack of Safyral and have no complaints. My skin is noticeably clearer, it has helped to reduce cramping and a heavy flow. I've had only one strange craving and it's for sour foods (pickles especially). No bad moods in fact I've been in a great mood since I've been on it. I've pretty much have experience all pros since taking it.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: This is my first birth control pill I've ever been on so I don't have anything to compare it to but I am 16 years old and have 11 day periods which are extremely heavy with terrible cramps, fatigue, and headaches. My gyn put me on this and everything was great for the first 3 weeks. I never had any breakthrough bleeding. I did have some slight cramps for the first week but they were nothing compared to what I've been on. I am on the first day of the placebo and so far no bleeding but I do have awful cramps again which I thought the pill was supposed to take care of this. If this is the way my period is going to be every month I might ask my doctor about Seasonique so I only have to deal with this once every 3 months.

Safyral (drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium) for Birth Control: Been on Safyral for almost 2 weeks. The breast pains are unbearable, but the irregular bleeding and spotting have stopped. Noticing a craving for carbs.
