For Birth Control "For the love of God do not take this medicine. MOOD SWINGS ARE NONSTOP. My poor boyfriend tried to tell me they started since I got on this pill. I didn't believe him until I read reviews and realized everyone who takes this has the same problem. I started this on the first Sunday which just happened to be the first day of my period. I've been on my period every week since I started taking this and I took the first sugar pill 3 days ago and now the bleeding is severe. My acne is awful and my boobs doubled in size from swelling. They don't even want to stay inside my bra. Do not take this. Please."

For Birth Control "I’ve taken Estarylla for 4 months now, and I’m getting headaches frequently, a metal taste in my mouth that comes and goes, low energy/lethargy pretty much all the time, appetite issues. Even when I’m eating well I still don’t feel right. The week before my period had come I had a variety of pregnancy symptoms, and I’ve had symptoms of anxiety and depression on and off. I’m not very thrilled with this birth control, and I’m thinking about either getting off of it or switching to something else."

For Birth Control "The first month of taking the Estarylla birth control was fine. However, by the second month I had gained about 10 lbs. No problems with acne, actually helped to clear it up. Boobs were a little bigger which was nice. HOWEVER!!!!! This birth control COMPLETELY dried up my vagina. Like literally bone dry. I have never had this problem with any birth control I've ever taken. Could not even get lubricated during self-pleasure. ALSO, I had spotting/breakthrough bleeding literally the entire time I was on this birth control which I've never experienced before. Even if I took it consistently every day at the same time I was bleeding almost every day. This birth control was a complete and total nightmare for those reasons. It had a huge negative impact on my sex life and self-confidence. The 3/10 was given simply because it cleared my skin and gave me (slightly) bigger boobs (probably due to weight gain). Do not recommend."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "The pharmacy said my old bc was no longer covered and gave me this saying the ingredients were the same when I asked. Obviously there's varying degrees. I bled for over two weeks the last week I questioned whether I had ruptured cyst, miscarriage.. The cramps were soo horrendous I threw up. HORRIBLE!!!!"

For Endometriosis "I began using the Estarylla for heavy periods and cramping. After a month, my periods got lighter, the cramping became manageable, and I even felt better overall. I had no side effects whatsoever and had better results on this than I did Sprintec. I would definitely recommend this medication!"

For Birth Control "As far as birth control, Extarylla works. My periods are regular and there is no spotting between them. As far as everything else, this pill is horrible. For the longest time I have not been able to figure out what was causing my anxiety and depressive episodes. I have always battled with anxiety, but this pill has made it so much worse. As soon as I stopped taking it I was anxiety free (outside of the normal), and my sex drive increased by miles. I wouldn’t recommend this pill to anyone, especially those who struggle with anxiety. Never again."

For Acne "I began taking this pill for my acne. I switched to this one because I was getting horrible cramps. I am 3 months in and have noticed a few side effects. 1: My period is ridiculous. I thought BC was supposed to help regulate and I have no idea when my period is coming or how long it will last. I've had a period for 2 weeks on, one week off, and then back to when my period should be again. Awful. 2: It has not helped me acne and may have actually made it worse. It is still early and it might just be getting used to my system still, so I am unsure. 3: my sex-drive is dead. Absolutely, positively birth control cause the idea of having sex (or even kissing) makes me sick and uncomfortable. On the bright side I don't have cramps anymore but I have no clue when my period or spotting will happen or for how long. I do plan to switch asap."

For Birth Control "I was on Estarylla for 3 1/2 months. I had never taken any birth control before starting it. I got bad cramping and heavy spotting in between periods. In the short amount of time taking Estarylla, I had gained about 30 pounds without changing diet or exercising or any other lifestyle changes. I literally went up two pant sizes and I was so bloated. My moods were completely uncomfortable and I didn’t even feel like myself. I am still trying to lose the weight and it’s been 8 months off of all birth control."

For Acne "I was on Monessa for about 1-2 years, I recently went to the pharmacy to pick up my regular prescription until they advised me that the manufacture changed which was why they gave me Estarylla. The only time my face would get a pimple or two would be when I would be getting my period. My period is not due for another 2 & a half weeks- I’ve only been taking Estarylla for a week and my face has been breaking out like NEVER before. I’m very high on skin care routines and it isn’t helping my skin at all."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "This birth control works great for a contraceptive though I was on it for my periods. The side effects is why I changed to a different pill. In the beginning I had a lot of break through bleeding but once it got into my system; it got better. I cried continuously for the first 2 weeks of every month with made me and everyone else around me angry. that's why I switched to a lower dose."

For Birth Control "I was originally on Sprintec then switched to Estarylla so I didn’t have to pay every month for birth control. I experienced weight gain at first, but once my body got used to the hormones my weight dropped down back to normal (but my boobs did get bigger so that’s a plus). I was so shocked to read all the negative reviews. I haven’t really ever had any problems on this birth control, no pregnancy scares, and my period is extremely regular. The only thing that’s annoying is that my period continues for an extra 3 days and it’s just really light spotting, but that also happened before I started birth control. My periods were extremely heavy, I’m talking bleeding through an ultra tampon after 3 hours, and now it is so much better. I do still have cramps, but they are so much better than they were prior to birth control."

For Ovarian Cysts "I was on Mononessa originally for about 2 years because I have ovarian cysts and endo. I was switched to Estarylla in January and I've been taking it every day, as directed, since. I've had some really odd side affects that I had no idea were side affects until I read some of these reviews. My boobs are constantly tender and achy, I've been losing hair like you couldn't imagine, and recently I've been having some other (worse) issues that I haven't seen a lot of women talk about so maybe it isn't the BC but I've never had these issues before. My vagina is CONSTANTLY itchy and dry and there is always a crazy amount of thick white discharge. Originally I thought it could've been a yeast infection or even PID but literally nothing has worked and it's been about two months. Also sex is extremely painful. Let me add that my skin is the best it's ever been since starting this brand. Nice skin does not make up for all of the other bad things that are happening because of this pill though."

For Birth Control "This pill actually made me depressed and anxious and nauseous to the point where I couldn't function. I took it for two years when I was first prescribed it because I never actually associated the symptoms to the pill until one day I brought up how I was nauseous all the time to my doctor and she recommended me switching pills. Once I got off this pill, I immediately felt happier and less anxious. It did prevent pregnancy, but literally whenever I would take even the tiniest drink of any kind of alcohol I'd be nauseous for the rest of the night. I recently took this pill again for a few days and these symptoms immediately returned. Never touching it again."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "The worst BC ever.I have just used it for 3 days and I have headaches and I threw up every single day.Do nothing other than sleeping like a log.This medicine was prescribed to control the abnormal bleeding I had and guess what I have the bleeding + these extra bonuses.Hate this medicine to death.Iam a person with no allergies to anything I know as of now.My body is pretty strong while other people around fall sick I remain totally unaffected.I will rate this medicine a negative not even a zero"

For Birth Control "hey yall, for reference I am 18 years old, and this would be my first ever birth control. I looked up reviews and am imminently terrified to start the pack. I actually did not start the pack until two weeks ago because of the reviews I've read on here. I did have a talk with my boyfriend and he reassured me that if I keep thinking negatively about it, then I will have a negative outcome, so I started the pack two weeks ago. On the first day of taking the pill, I felt extremely nauseous but it went away a couple of hours later and this is common for people starting birth control so I had no worries. So far the only side effects I've had is that I've realized that I'm eating more (increased appetite) which I didn't mind because I've started going to the gym, I've also had a higher sex drive. overall definitely try this birth control!! Everyone and every body is different and you never know!"

For Birth Control "I was switched to Estarylla last year after my pharmacy stopped carrying MonoNessa. Have had zero issues whatsoever—never experienced anything the other reviewers are mentioning. Seamless transition from my previous birth control, no side effects, and my cycle is very regular. It’s supposedly supposed to help with acne but I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my skin so I cant vouch for that, but as a birth control it works perfectly and I have zero complaints!"

For Ovarian Cysts "This is a TERRIBLE pill! I was on Mononessa for years, mainly to balance issues related to PCOS- depression, anxiety, irregular bleeding, excess hair. All was going OK- better when I ate right and exercise regularly, then suddenly no pharmacies near me would stock Mononessa, and they switched me to Estarylla claiming it was exactly the same pill. I spoke with my doctor and nurses, and they assured me it was the same. They are NOT the same. I've been on Estarylla for 3 months, and have never in my life had panic attacks and depressive episodes like this. I've had spotting between periods, and my libido is dead. Makes you wonder who's making $$$ off this pill- because after reading other reviews it sure as hell isn't helping anyone."

For Birth Control "I have had a terrible time on this! I'm not taking anymore after this month. Emotionally I have been everywhere from crying over everything to wanting to be alone all the time. Depression has been awful and my boobs have been sore for a month. Everyone keeps telling me I'm all the sudden acting crazy and I believe it. I definitely dont recommend this pill!"

For Birth Control "What a HORRIBLE medication!!! I started taking this pill after my 2nd baby I noticed mood swings but I thought it was just my hormones after having a baby but it got worse, after a month of been on this pill I was either angry or sad all the time, very unhappy I refused to believe that it could be depression but i started to find my self crying in my room alone, anxious just not feeling myself. That is not all I thought I had some kind of stomach virus for a moth and it wasn't going away, nauseous, vomiting, dizziness and severe headache. It felt like stroke waiting to happen. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!!"

For Acne "Your acne WILL CLEAR!! for me it didn’t heal my acne the way I wanted it to it just made me break out bad then it got better after a month or two! It does get better. Try not to touch your face. Really messed up my vision after taking for so long"

For Birth Control "PLEASE LISTEN TO THESE REVIEWS! THE WORST BC PILL EVER. I'm 18 and was getting terrible migraines so my doctor prescribed this pill in order to help with them. The pill did help with them but that is about the extent to which these pills did something good for me. The first 2 months of taking these pills I experienced Nausea EVERY morning. I also started experiencing actual panic attacks which I had never had before. The first 3 months I didn't experience a weight gain so I thought I lucked out but nope.. In about 3 weeks I gained over 8 lbs without a change in my diet or life style. For the past month I have been eating healthier and exercising to try and shed the lbs but nothing seems to work. I am also bloated all of the time. My anxiety and depression have been crazy lately and I just do not feel like myself. Tomorrow is my last day on this pill and I could not be happier. Please do not take this pill."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "INTENSE MOOD SWINGS on Estarylla. That take a few months to level out. I had to be put back on antidepressants, but different ones that wouldn't interact with the drug. I've also been bleeding for over a month now and I've been on the Estarylla pill for about 5 months. My face is clear though. Not pregnant so I guess it's doing its job ??"

For Acne "I read a whole ton of bad reviews on this, specifically the side effects, but so far I have had no side effects. My friend stopped taking BC because the nausea (I have no idea which brand/type) so I was iffy but so far I love it! It's cleared my terrible ance problem almost fully. My periods are like they always have been, a day or two longer, but I think thats because I stopped working out as much. I would give it a 10 but I've not taken the drug that long to truly know."

For Birth Control "DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I was on mononessa for years and loved it until the pharmacy switched it to this garbage. At first it was typical, but by the 3rd week my health flipped. My anxiety and depression got so bad, I was feeling nauseous and lightheaded all day, I had so much trouble breathing, had low self-esteem and was overthinking everything and couldn’t handle stress, I was exhausted all the time but would wake up constantly with chills, and my heart was racing nonstop. I finally realized the only thing that’s different was this stupid pill so I quit taking it, but not before my doctor informed me I now have an overactive thyroid that was likely brought on by this. For mental and physical health, don’t accept this pill."

For Birth Control "This will be the 6th month I've been on Estarylla, but I'm going to stop taking it & find another birth control. Although it's done its job with preventing pregnancy, this certain pill makes me much more emotionally unstable. Before taking it I was a social & overall happy person but now I get upset over the most insignificant things, push people away, feel anxious/sad more often than I'm happy. :( It's even affected my relationship with my boyfriend bc he thinks I'm always sad around him but it's just this dang pill messing with my emotions! I know medications affect people differently, but from seeing the other reviews just be warned that this pill can increase depression, mood swings, anxiety, etc."
