For Birth Control "It has worked great for preventing pregnancy, but has its downfalls. It has increased my migraines greatly and also has lowered my sex drive. I have also noticed since taking it I have been less happy and occasionally a lot more moody."

For Birth Control "I was excited to try this birth control because after talking to my doctor, this seemed like a much better match than when I was on Nexplanon. Sadly, I was only able to take this for the first week. This birth control gave me the WORST migraines of my life EVER. For a week straight, I have been dizzy, and my insomnia is so bad I haven’t slept for the past two nights. But the thing that pushed me to the breaking point is that it caused me hallucinations twice on the last day of taking it. And not to mention the miserable depression."

For Birth Control "Pros: Worked great as a birth control & light periods. Cons: Completely killed my libido, I've always had migraines, but I got them much more frequently with this pill, I gained weight, & made me moody. I've been on this pill for 9 months. I was hoping things would get better, but they are not, so I am discontinuing use."

For Birth Control "I have taken Velivet for almost 2 years. I've been getting menstrual migraines from withdrawal sometimes during my period. Also have low libido, which I'm not sure if it's related to this pill."
