"Omg, I have been crying for no reason and angry for the last 2 weeks. Was thinking I may need some meds for depression, then backtracked what changed 2 weeks ago and boom, changed my birth control from Yasmin to Zarah. I decided to read reviews online, and am I happy I did. I cannot wait until this month is over, or I may consider stopping before the month end."

"So I started taking Zarah after Ocella was giving me a bad discharge with an odor. At first, I thought I loved Zarah. I recently changed insurance, and I can no longer get Zarah. I've begun taking a new pill, which I cannot remember the name of, but I have now realized how many problems I actually had with Zarah. I've learned that Zarah was causing weird breakouts around my chin that were just hard, painful bumps that never turned into actual zits. It was causing my breasts to lactate, by the way, I am 21, have been on birth control since 15, and have never been pregnant. After reading another review, I have noticed my sex drive go way up as well."

"Zarah is great! No side effects at all. I have had a lot of issues with other birth control, but Zarah is perfect."

"Zarah was my first form of birth control. I've been on it for about 4 months, and it's been pretty only a bad experience. I've become very depressed and anxious. I am naturally fairly moody, but this has been terrible. It made me think my boyfriend was a monster. I would yell at him, and in my head, I would blame all my depression on him and 'how he treated me,' which was fine. The pill made me think otherwise. It did clear up my skin, and I've actually lost weight, but not worth it because my mental health is so poor. I'm very, very sad and emotional all the time. It's not only sometimes. I need to make a switch soon to a different one. Don't recommend because of how I feel about myself and others. Makes you very depressed, can't stress it."
