"This BC changed my life and not for the better. No weight gain, but the mood swings are AWFUL. I’m a big empath, so I’ve always cried easily, but never like this. I’m talking tears in 2.5 seconds over the littlest things. I also think my PMS has worsened severely. The first three months put my skin through absolute hell and I’ve never been one for breakouts. I started this because I was having menstrual migraines on my previous pill that I had taken for 5+ years. My doctor suggested switching it up. I’ve now been on this for 9 months, and I’m prepared to switch when these last 3 months are up. If you are an emotional person, it is no not worth it! I’m also on no other medications."

"I have been on this birth control for about 10 years. I briefly got off it to try the NuvaRing but I bled for weeks and switched back on. I will be honest with you that the first 3 months getting back on I felt depressed and suicidal, but once I realized it was the pills it was easy to keep in check. While on the pill I have no cramps, no mood swings, no acne, nothing. My period is super light (just spotting) and I usually just skip it. I do think I have a bit of vaginal dryness/ lack of lubrication so I am going to try something else but I would happily switch back to this if the new pill doesn't help what I am looking for help with."

"I’m 26 I’ve been on Necon 0.5/35 for about 7 months now. Let’s start with the good: I’ve had no weight gain other than gaining a cup size, my acne has cleared up way better than any skin regime could do (I’ve suffered from breakouts ever since I was 13), and my period is always light and comes around at the same time every month. Now for the negative: The worst part is the MOOD SWINGS. I’ve always considered myself to be a fairly reasonable, non-emotional person, but that’s changed since taking necon. I get extremely annoyed over very minimal things, I take things personally when I know it’s not personal, and I find myself crying for no real reason. It got better in the 3rd & 4th month, but months 5-7 have been brutal. Has anyone who’s taken necon for a long time dealt with this during the first year? I keep hoping it’ll get better but it only seems to be getting worse. The good side effects are great, so I want to stick it out a little longer."
