"Nikki affects you immediately. My complexion went downhill within days. I’m having pain from my ovarian cysts, my breasts are sore and swollen, and I’ve put on almost 5-6 lbs. I echo all of the reviews."

"Just started my second month of Nikki. So far, I feel like my PMS symptoms have gotten worse. My breasts were sore for the first month, now they are fine. My hot flashes and mood swings before and during my period also seemed a lot worse. My depression has seemed to be more severe as well. But it is also the start of fall, and I have more seasonal depression. So, with this being said, I don’t know if it’s the pill making it worse or just my normal seasonal depression. I’m hoping my body just needs to adjust to the pill. I will give it three months and update again. Hopefully positive!"

"Nikki has improved my life so dramatically. I was on birth control from ages 14 until 27 when I started trying to get pregnant. After my son was born, I decided to stay off the pill and see how I felt. The first year was okay, but then my periods became irregular and I started to have horrible mood swings. I would feel almost euphorically good for a week or so after my period ended and then live in two weeks of nightmare living. (irritability, depression, low energy) I started reading more about PMDD and decided to give this a try. The first three days I had really bad headaches. I have also experienced some nausea and also random increased anxiety, which oddly always seems to happen after eating. Perhaps the anxiety is related to the nausea? Overall, my mood has been much more stable all month long. No highs, lows, or angry outbursts. No weight gain - I think my stomach is actually feeling flatter. I plan to take this for three months continuously."

"I started taking this medication in August, and within the first week, I noticed vaginal bleeding and some cramping. I thought maybe it was just my body getting used to the change. I have been bleeding nonstop since I started this medication in August, I was told it is still adjusting. Then starting in October, I’ve noticed severe cramping, fatigue, having strong fatigue, and still more bleeding. I honestly thought there was something wrong with me, so finally, I decided to go back to my old birth control, Primella. I would not recommend the Nikki!"

"I have never written a review, this is how awful Nikki is. I was on Loryna for months, and it worked perfectly (in combination with Prozac and Buspar). I started Nikki, and not only have my PMS mood swings come back, but it is seriously as if Nikki is making my antidepressants and anxiety meds completely useless and ineffective, regardless of the time of month. Also, I've been spotting between periods, which is obviously less than ideal. On Loryna, I had absolutely no breakthrough bleeding, even when I started. I asked the pharmacist if switching from Loryna to Nikki could be the cause of the mood swings and breakthrough bleeding (even though they are both generics for Yaz), and she said it can definitely happen, especially given literally nothing in my life has changed except my birth control. 0/10 do not recommend."

"Nope! My pharmacy switched me to Nikki birth control pill from Gianvi, which I had previously been on for months. My first month on Nikki was okay, but I noticed that I was experiencing severe cramping the week before I started the 'white' pills. This stayed consistent. Now on month 3, I have experienced nonstop bleeding for more than a week, extreme abdominal cramping, trouble sleeping, bodily fatigue, which has impacted my work (I work a very active outdoor job) and, as of last night, more bleeding. I thought there was something severely wrong with my body until I looked up reviews for this pill. I do not recommend this Nikki! I’ll be stopping immediately until I can find a pharmacy that will transfer me back to Gianvi."

"I took one Nikki pill, and my life went to shambles in three days. I went absolutely crazy emotionally. My anger, depression, and anxiety went through the roof. I usually take .125 of Klonopin as needed for my anxiety - I took 1 mg, and it didn't even help. My PMDD is pretty severe, but this almost ruined me. We'll see how long until I feel normal again or if I cause more emotional wreckage - it's only three days later."

"Honestly, I was an emotional wreck before taking Nikki. Now, I've never felt so normal in my whole life. It's such a breath of fresh air."

"Basically fixed my PMDD, but also gave me 5+ day migraines every three weeks. Will be trying a different generic or brand."
