"I started this to see about balancing my hormones. I was adamant that I had to be on something that wouldn’t cause weight gain. Well so far no weight gain, but the acne I’m experiencing is a 100% no go! I have little bumps everywhere, like texture. I have cysts on my neck. I won’t be taking this again!"

"Please do not listen to all the negative reviews on here. I have been on this pill for 9 entire years now, I started when I was only 14 years old. The pill has improved my periods so much. I used to not be able to function the first 3 days of my period because of horrible cramps and would lose so much blood. My breasts grew multiple cup sizes on this medication, I went from having nothing to now having double d cups. So beware of that, lol! Also was great in the beginning for acne, but now I have been having it more often, but not because of the pill. Not to mention, it is also great at preventing pregnancy. I have no complaints on this pill!"

"I started taking Syeda in an attempt to regulate my period. I lasted 3 weeks on it. The worst side effect was horrible insomnia. I also had constant headaches, nausea, mood swings and anxiety. I haven't taken one of these pills in 10 years. I have had 3 children and a tubal ligation. The effects these medications have on your body are astounding and grossly downplayed. Many a relationship has been ruined by the side effects of the combined pill, anxiety, depression, mood swings. Do yourself a favor and get an IUD if you need hormonal birth control. I can't believe woman still have to rely on this stuff."

"MOST USELESS PILLS EVER!! I took Ocella for years and my periods were light and guaranteed to start Placebo Pill Tuesday or Wednesday. My insurance company started making us do mail delivery in ‘18 or ‘19 & changed my pills to a generic that didn’t even have a name, then started sending me Syeda in ‘19 & in May of ‘19, it’s like I’m not even on birth control pills anymore. I randomly start spotting, bloating, and cramping at some point during the 3 week of active pills & have absolutely NO idea when or if I’ll start my period & have started my period while still on the active pills! I’ve started on Placebo Pill Monday, occasionally Wednesday, but mostly Thursday or Friday. Starting on Tuesday has completely stopped. My flow is absolutely unpredictable. My Ob-Gyn has me taking Lysteda to control the heavy bleeding that starts on day 1 & length ranges 4 - 9 days & has even gone for 3 straight weeks. These are seriously the worst pills."

"My pharmacy gave me Syeda as a generic for Yasmín and just now I'm realizing this birth control is the cause for my longer periods and on going spotting. I’m definitely going back to my doctor and switching to a different one. This one does not work."

"I have been taking Yazmin generics for over 5 years and have not experienced any problems. My weight has remained stable. However, when I was prescribed Syeda, it was the worst experience. It caused me severe anxiety and negatively impacted my mental health, leading to negative self-talk and almost depression. During PMS, my thoughts became even more negative, and I was unable to feel fully happy. I will never take Syeda again and cannot understand why it is still on the market. In my opinion, it should be removed immediately."

"Been taking ocella for a good 8 years and then the pharmacy switched me over to Syeda because of insurance. Man I wish I would’ve told them no no no, in 2 months, I’ve gained 15 lbs, my boobs went up a size, I’m moody and randomly cramping throughout the month when I’m not supposed to start my period for weeks. DO NOT RECOMMEND"

"This is NOT Yasmin. It's HORRIBLE! I have been taking birth control for 20 years for PCOS and never had a problem..Yasmin or Mylan generic, within a week I started to feel bloated and very uncomfortable. As soon as I stopped, I was fine. My pharmacist has said I am not the only one too."

"I have been on Syeda for almost 5 months. I like it , periods have been fine. BUT I have severe breast pain before my period, never experienced the heaviness and tenderness with other birth controls as bad as while on this. I have noticed weight gain but nothing crazy. I for now am going to continue taking it"

"I started taking Syeda in June of 2019. I had severe acne & nothing was working. It cleared up my skin in 3 months. Although It kept my skin clear at first. It made me extremely depressed/suicidal. It decreased my libido & sex drive. I had so many mood swings + depressive episodes. Once the pandemic hit in March 2020 + all the maskne my acne came back but it was manageable. I decided to stop taking birth control in July of 2021 because I had gotten to the point where I knew if I kept taking this medication I would end up hurting myself + it didn’t even help my skin anymore & just made me sick. I’ve been way happier without it."

"My pharmacy gave me Syeda in place of Ocella. I had taken Ocella for years and zero problems with it. After only taking Syeda for a short period of time I felt weird /anxious and had insomnia. I do not recommend Syeda."

"I switched to Syeda after I had a horrible experience with nexplanon 3 months ago. I haven’t noticed any side effects from it so far. No weight gain, or mood swings. I am glad I finally found what works and doesn’t cause side effects."

"TERRIBLE. I got switched to this just about 6 months ago and gained 20 pounds in the first couple months from a weight I maintained for over 4 years. The weight gain has made me severely depressed and I can’t get it to go down even while I workout and eat healthy."

"I actually like Syeda. I had a terrible experience with Nexplanon and Aubra. Was spotting 3 weeks out of the month. Microgestin was better but it made me gain weight like crazy! With Syeda, I don’t find myself wanting to eat all day; also, it actually is regulating my cycle."

"I’ve only been taking this for one week now. I’ve been off depo shot for over a month. I haven’t had any bad experiences yet. Will update if that changes. But I feel good. Very different experience than when I started depo."

"I took this medication for about six months to treat PCOS and Autoimmune Thyroiditis. It successfully managed most of my symptoms, however I did notice that it caused me to have extreme anxiety, cramps, and bloating before my period, possibly to the level of PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder). It is definitely one of the better medications I have taken to treat my symptoms, but for me there were better options out there."

"It took me 5 days to realize the sudden stomach - almost gastritis like - issues I'm having are being caused by Syeda. I never had this problem with other birth control pills I took and I've been using this method for years now. So I'll definitely stop taking Syeda. Not worth the stomach issues I've been having every single day these last 5 days."

"This birth control helps me a lot with my skin, and it does a good job preventing pregnancy. The hormones can cause hair growth. I recommend eating before you take it or after to avoid nausea."
