For Birth Control "Overall, no major side effects, but I do think I've gained weight. I am very active - strength train 5 days/week & run 20 km per week and eat quite healthily, around 1500 calories/day, and cannot shed this extra 10 lbs. I think it's the Zarah. As far as acne goes, I have mild acne & have not noticed an improvement."

For Birth Control "I switched from Lutera to Zarah because I developed PMDD and was constantly enraged and snapping on all my friends, boyfriend, and family the few days before my period. Zarah has drospirenone as its progesterone and is proven to help calm some of the effects of PMDD and other anxiety. I am so grateful for this birth control! I'm not pregnant either, my breasts went up to a 32DD, and my acne is slightly better than it was before."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "I experienced depression, zero sex drive (almost ruined my marriage), and massive weight gain. The only thing it did was prevent birth."
