For Birth Control "I was on Azurette for 5 years, and I loved it for a really long time. I had super regular periods that weren't too painful. I pretty much had no symptoms for about 4 years. Unfortunately, my pharmacy stopped carrying Azurette, and I was switched to a generic version. After a year of being on the generic version, I had to get off as it was having serious negative effects on my mental health. I developed a very serious anxiety and panic disorder. Since getting off of the pill, my mental health is entirely different. I realized even before it got bad that I was having anxiety. I thought that's just who I was, but it turns out it was the birth control all along. Just because Azurette and its generic versions didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. Everyone's body is different, and it's worth a go."

For Birth Control "I have been on this prescription for 5+ years. I have never had any issues. My pharmacy tried to change to Mylan - Ethinyl Estradiol, which made me very moody and anxious. I tried Teva - Kariva and couldn't sleep. I really like Azurette, but hear it's being discontinued."

For Birth Control "On Azurette, I had terrible anxiety! I had 8-day periods with heavy cramps on this birth control. I also broke out. Overall, 3/10 stars."
