For Acne "I had been on Ocella and Yazmin for years, all of my painful cystic acne was gone, and I felt great. I got put on Syeda by my pharmacy, and my face was breaking out like an 8th grader. Also, it gave me the appetite of a HORSE. I ate and ate as if I hadn't eaten in months... also gave me a severely bloated. If you are happy with what you currently use, I would suggest caution before trying or at least pay close attention to the symptoms."

For Birth Control "MOST USELESS PILLS EVER!! I took Ocella for years, and my periods were light and guaranteed to start Placebo Pill Tuesday or Wednesday. My insurance company started making us do mail delivery in ‘18 or ‘19 and changed my pills to a generic that didn’t even have a name, then started sending me Syeda in ‘19, and in May of ‘19, it’s like I’m not even on birth control pills anymore. I randomly start spotting, bloating, and cramping at some point during the 3rd week of active pills and have absolutely NO idea when or if I’ll start my period and have started my period while still on the active pills! I’ve started on Placebo Pill Monday, occasionally Wednesday, but mostly Thursday or Friday. Starting on Tuesday has completely stopped. My flow is absolutely unpredictable. My Ob-Gyn has me taking Lysteda to control the heavy bleeding that starts on day 1, and length ranges from 4 to 9 days and has even gone for 3 straight weeks. These are seriously the worst pills."

For Birth Control "This is NOT Yasmin. It's HORRIBLE! I have been taking birth control for 20 years for PCOS and never had a problem. Yasmin or Mylan generic, within a week I started to feel bloated and very uncomfortable. As soon as I stopped, I was fine. My pharmacist has said I am not the only one too."

For Birth Control "I took this medication for about six months to treat PCOS and autoimmune thyroiditis. It successfully managed most of my symptoms, however, I did notice that it caused me to have extreme anxiety, cramps, and bloating before my period, possibly to the level of PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). It is definitely one of the better medications I have taken to treat my symptoms, but for me, there were better options out there."
