For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Viorele for 3 years now and never experienced any side effects. I’m on it for cramps and they are really improved. I also have a shorter period that’s only about 3-4 days. I’ll still have some mild cramps the first couple of days but don’t have to take medicine for it anymore. This was the first pill I’ve tried and it’s the one I’ll be staying on for a while :)"

For Birth Control "This birth control option does its job, but it made me severely depressed and anxious, and I also lost a lot of weight on it. At first, there was a bunch of spotting too, and gastrointestinal issues as well, also loss of appetite. Did not work for me, but I’m glad it worked for other women."

For Birth Control "I was on this pill for a few years with no issues whatsoever. I could miss 2-3 pills in a row (definitely not recommended) and start back up with no abnormal bleeding or spotting whatsoever. I know everybody is different, but the last 8 months or so have been awful for me. I've been checked out by my OB and have no underlying conditions either, but I've been spotting for a week to a week and a half prior to my period, and if I miss a pill now (even just 1), I have breakthrough bleeding up until the start of my next period. Needless to say, I'm changing pills now."

For Birth Control "I got on this to control my period. I've been taking this medication now for my second week and haven't really noticed anything, although I'm not taking the birth control to stop getting pregnant. I had my tubes tied, I just wanted something to regulate my periods. I have been going 40 to 60 days without bleeding, and when I do, it's abnormally heavy, so I was hoping to control it and make it more regular. My doctor says it could be perimenopause."

For Birth Control "It hasn’t even been a full month I’ve been on Viorele, I gained 5 lbs, breasts went up like 2 sizes, and cramped the whole month. Everyone has a different experience, but I stopped taking it today. It had me feeling like a pregnant woman."

For Birth Control "I started the pill 3 weeks ago. I'm about to begin the 4th week tomorrow. I've experienced breast tenderness since the first pill I've taken, and it's been inconsistent and hasn't stopped yet. Normally, I'd just have breast soreness the week of my period, then it would stop. But when I took the pill, it hasn't stopped. I did get acne the first week, but it cleared up. I have noticed some mood swing change as I got closer to the 2 green pills. But I normally PMS the week before my period. It seems as though my patience is a lot thinner now than it was before. I'm nervous for the yellow pills because my periods weren't ever bad before, and I'm afraid they're going to be longer or something, but I hope not. Overall, I like the pill and would recommend it."

For Birth Control "Pharmacy switched my pill from Azurette to Viorele, and that was a big mistake! I was very emotional and depressed, with severe anxiety. My appetite was low. I felt like crying every day. Never again!"
