For Birth Control "Ireally don't like this Falmina pill, I’ve been on a period the entire 3 month trial on this pill, I’m cramping everyday like I’m going to have a period. I decided to stop taking it for a week to have withdrawal bleeding and start a new pack — I had no bleeding for 5 days and then I’m having a period again on the active pills!! I’m definitely going back to Sprintec, I just can't handle the mood swings. However when you’re chronically anemic I’ll take mood swings over unnecessary blood loss 80-90% of the month."

For Birth Control "My gyn put me on Aviane... So I was taking that for only a month, and for my second month I had switched to a different pharmacy location and they didn't have Aviane but instead they gave me Falmina stating it generic for Aviane. My first month on it, I experienced no side effects which kinda scared me cause I thought it wasn't working. But now I'm in my second month and I thought I continued to be side effect free until I've become crazy depressed, angry, irrational, anxiety, and I blamed it all on the fact that it is the end of my semester so I have a ton of finals and stuff to worry about. But as I was just taking my BC I decided to check the reviews just because... and almost everyone is experiencing these same side effects."

For Birth Control "The problem I noticed right away was nausea a few hours after taking each pill, even if I ate before/after taking it. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to vomit for the first few weeks. I was prescribed nausea medication, which worked beautifully and I eventually didn't need it anymore (still nausea, just no vomiting). Later on, I noticed the mood problems. I've never been a very emotional person but it's made me a wreck. I have had a constant sinking feeling and sobbing fits over nothing. BUT on the bright side, periods are much more moderate and controlled, and no pregnancy after a year of use."

For Birth Control "I've been taking luterra since 2014 then went to the generic brand avianne 28. Last month my pharmacy switch it to this brand. I haven't had acne since my teen years and this brand caused me to break out. The second side effect I experienced was if not every day then every other day I'd get very bad migraines. The only way I was able to connect my migraines to this brand of birth control was being on the 4th week/sugar pills. During this time I did not experience a migraine. I called my doctor told her my experience and found its when the pharmacy has run low on certain birth control. They use what's in stock and I called the pharmacy and told them of my experience. The pharmacy made a note and is able to divert that from happening to me again. "

For Birth Control "I've been on Falmina for a little over two weeks now. I have noticed that it has caused some mental health issues, I'm much more emotional with panic attacks, I've gained 5 pounds which coming from someone who has been no more then 100 pounds since I was 16 (now 26) that seems like a lot although I am unsure if the weight gain is due to the birth control since I haven't been on it very long. I switched to this brand after I went to see my PCP. I plan to have him switch me to another one due to the emotional distress this brand has caused me but I wouldn't say to not give it a try. Different birth controls work different with women. We all don't have the same hormones and bodies."

For Ovarian Cysts "This BC in only one month has given me the worst experience. I’m constantly nauseous and dizzy. Have gained eight pounds even though I have had loss of appetite and have been retaining water like crazy my ankles are swollen so bad. Have always had bad anxiety but it has become crippling and I have experienced a lot of dark thought and am constantly sad. This medicine is horrible and will never take it again"
