"This was HORRIBLE. I was skeptical to start taking it because all the bad reviews but remained hopeful. I took it for 3 weeks. Week one and two weren’t terrible. Some slight nausea. But by the third week I was so nauseous I was throwing up every morning. I stopped taking it because it’s not worth that !"

"This is the first and only birth control I’ve ever had. I’ve gained almost 30 pounds for someone who eats healthy and was a gym girl… I experienced hives out of no where sometimes, emotional, moody, fatigue, and I just wasn’t the same anymore… after I stopped, I felt happier and I saw my body changing to my (before) and as well as no more flare ups."

"OMG I am so glad I found these reviews. Light bulb went off and now I know what is causing my daughter to have horrible anxiety, depression, zero appetite, panic attacks, fatigue and zero motivation to do anything but sleep. My daughter is 19 years old and attends college . Four months ago we decided she should try and get on a BC pill that will help with her heavy periods and terrible cramps. The first month of taking the BC she was on lo loestrin commonly know as LO LO. She had some break through bleeding as a side effect nothing major. Second month when she received her next round she was given Mili brand BC without any notice of the switch. I can't tell you enough how horrible this last few months have been. My daughter deals with anxiety depression and has been treated for it with medication and had controlled. The last few months since taking Mili her anxiety has spun out of control along with her confidence. She feels nauseous every time she eats. DON'T TAKE!"

"It’s clear based on the reviews this birth control works for some and not for others. This bc really messed me up. Threw my gastrointestinal tract out of whack and I gained a little weight as well. Mood swings are abundant and I’ve felt depressed and lethargic. Cannot wait to stop taking this bc! I’d rather deal with my heavy periods than this medicine changing who I am and making me constipated all the time."

"I LOVE mili, I had such bad cystic acne before I started taking this pill. I had literally tried everything. Now my skin barely ever gets any breakouts, my skin is so clear besides my scars & i never thought I’d see it this way! I have had no side effects from this and I have been taking it for 2 months. This month my pharmacy changed me from Mili to Estarylla and I had the WORST anxiety , panic attacks, I was on my tippy toes 24/7 about everything. I cried a lot & I only took the pill for 2 weeks. I could not continue I had to call my pharmacy and order another pack & they made a note to NOT switch my birth controls again"

"This stuff is TERRIBLE. My pharmacy keeps switching me back and forth between Mili and Estarylla and Mononessa, and every time I take Mili I break out into horrible acne, my anxiety escalates significantly, and I have crazy mood swings. WORST birth control I’ve ever taken! This stuff should be discontinued."

"This is the worst. I was on Sprintec and switched to this from CVS. Within two weeks I had extreme motion sickness and could cry at any moment. I called CVS and they were able to special order me sprintec. Thank goodness!"

"I’m almost finished my second pill pack of Mili contraceptive pill. So far my period was heavier than normal and longer but since it was the first one I’m gonna give it time to regulate. My mood swings are terrible and I’m overly emotional about everything. I’m not gaining weight and I’ve noticed less breakouts."

"My pharmacy had ran out of Sprintec (which I had been taking for 8 months - with no issues) so my doctor prescribed me Mili, because it “has the same formula as Sprintec”. I came here to read some of the reviews and saw how it destroyed so many lives and caused severe side effects. Although I warned my doctor about the side effects, I still took it anyway, hoping I could muscle through the pain and wait for my body to get used to it. I took Mili FOR TWO DAYS and it caused me severe nausea and fatigue. I ate it on a full stomach (as recommended) and it still gave me these symptoms. I had never felt so weak in life, I could not bathe myself by the second day. I’m switching pharmacies and going back to Sprintec, I cannot function while on this bc."

"I’ve been on Mili for about a year now and I’ve experienced no side effects. I haven’t gained any weight from the pills, and my period starts on the same day of every month which is extremely helpful. And in regards to preventing pregnancy- it’s worked perfectly for me."

"I switched from Sprintec to Mili birth control pill. Sprintec made me feel like I was going crazy and made me super emotional and was the worst. I feel an improvement in my mental health since switching from Sprintec to Mili for sure though. My periods are lighter, I do get headaches, slight mood swings and I have gained a little bit of weight since starting. My acne has cleared up almost entirely though."

"This was the WORST birth control I have ever been on. The pill for me in general hasn't been that great and found myself calling my doctor every month for a new prescription. None of mine were as worse as this one. I have been on this pill for two months now and have not stopped bleeding. This has never happened with me and birth control. My mood is constantly down and I am very irritable ALL the time. My weight went up about 10 pounds and my skin is breaking out like crazy. Please save yourself from all of this and try anything else but this brand."

"I’ve been on Sprintec for 3 years now and they switched me about a month ago and I’ve had stomach ache and throwing up almost every day, this pill needs to stop production. I thought I had stomach problems but it’s this dumb pill I will never in my life switch pills again Sprintec was the best I’m on my second month and finally I’m switching back, never do mili."

"I like taking Mili it helps me alot. Plus I have no problem gaining weight. Also it clears my face. I have had mood swings but thats about it. Other than that no other side effects. I just started taking this last month in beginning of January 2022. So far I'm enjoying taking them. I hope it stays that way I'm willing to gain pounds that doesn't bother me."

"I’m writing on here because I’ve been taking Mili for about two weeks now after taking Sprintec for 3 months. I used to have issues with yeast infections with ortho tri cyclin lo and after developing them about every month I got a generic version which helped A LOT. I was on that no-name brand for years and then went off the pill for a few months due to lack of insurance. I started up again taking Sprintec after detailing the side effects I’ve had before with BC to the doctor. No issues with Sprintec and was happy. Now I started Mili and after two weeks, I’ve experienced two yeast infections and increased anxiety. One positive is that I haven’t had much nausea which I’ve been know to have with my other generic. I know that switching to a different BC can have negative effects initially, but I’m not willing to deal with it again like I had before! I’m stopping Mili"

"Started feeling the side effects the same day I started these!!! I get extreme nauseous when I go to bed and when I wake up at the point where I want to throw up ! And I can’t stop sleeping! This is from someone that never experiences side effects, mononessa and estrayla is so much better. I feel this is changing me !! I can’t stop sleeping and I feel sick!"

"Absolutely horrible. Do not take this!!!!! Severe migraines, extremely nauseous and horrible mood swings. I have tried many different types of birth control (brand name and generic) and I have never experienced side effects like on this Mili birthcontrol pill."

"I started taking Mili because my pharmacy stopped carrying Sprintec. I haven’t had any side effects and I always know exactly the day I’ll start and stop bleeding. Everyone reacts differently of course, but don’t let the number of negative reviews keep you from at least trying it to see if it works for you. —especially if you deal with hormonal acne (that’s why I take it specifically and it’s worked phenomenally)"

"This was the worst birth control. I was on Estarylla prior to this and estarylla was actually great for me. I had light bleeding and hardly any cramps. I was happy with it. Walgreens suddenly told me that they no longer make it so they were giving me Mili which was “the same”. It no way was it the same. As soon as I switched pills, I bled for an entire month. It was nonstop bleeding and it was just clots of blood. I was showering up to five times a day and changing pads every hour. I took it a second month after me and my doctor thought maybe I had to adjust to the new pill. The second month was a mistake because the same thing happened and I just bled nonstop. There was about a week in between where I did not bleed. Don’t take Mili. It’s horrible!"

"So I’ve been on Mili birth control pill for about four weeks now. I noticed nausea in the 3rd week the most. The rest of the time just some cramping and light spotting. I would spot on and off or every night so far for about a month. It’s not horrible though just somewhat annoying I’m going to continue with it and see if my body gets adjusted to it. Also noticed an increase in painful acne but not too much. The last week with the placebo pills have been painful cramps though."

"I have never been on birth control, I have always had fears of it and how it would effect my body. I recently just had a pregnancy scare and was not pregnant, just a week late. My OBGYN prescribed me Mili because I am with a partner and I have believed I have endometriosis for years hence my heavy heavy periods and awful cramps. I am a small person and struggle with severe acne but I have gotten it down to mild acne. I haven’t started the pill yet, I will on Sunday. I just want to hear back from other peoples experience who has a similar situation?.."

"Ok so the reason I was given this bc is bc for some reason my cycle decided to be weird (23days on) I'm already on nexplanon..I've literally been on this for 1 day I was told to take 3 a day for 3 days and so on so on. Well yesterday 12-28-20 I did just that and now here I am 12-29-20 @ 1:25 just finished throwing up like crazy. It's so bad my back of my head hurts and my ears and throat also. I already have digestive problems so this is a NO for me."

"I had Mirena 3 times and decided to switch, one because I didn’t want to be on anything (hormones are horrible for your body period) & two cause I just wanted to see if anything was different without it. I’ve been using Mirena for almost 15 years & they say you notice changes when you stop something. Mirena was amazing. That’s what I’ve discovered. Should have never had it removed. Anyways- they prescribed me Tri Lo Mili (didn’t want my skin in shock seeing as I’m doing bodywork right now) I’m two weeks in to this pill & the side effects I am experiencing so far are- first week-insomnia/ high anxiety, night sweats (so gross) mainly in my legs, bleeding gums (never had in my life), absolutely zero appetite what so ever (and I’m a daily chocolate kind of gal)…"

"I was on Sprintec for a year and never had any bad side effects. My doctor gave me Mili and said that they were the same medicine and that nothing should change. I've been taking it for less than a week and I have had headaches, horrible nausea, acne breakouts, and I'm always tired. DO NOT get fooled into thinking that Mili and Sprintec are the same thing.. they are not."

"I genuinely really like Mili. It’s prevented pregnancy, I’ve had clear skin, my period isn’t as bad, and my mood genuinely improved. Definitely recommend.Keep in mind switching form another birth control is always difficult."
