"This birth control made me extremely emotional! I'm 32 and my life was fine before I got on this pill only 2 months ago. I started flashing out on my boyfriend and have even gained about 5 pounds. I'm finishing the pack and moving on to something else. Meds are not supposed to decrease quality of life."

"Was on Zovia 1/35 for 7 years and experience was great and that rating would have been a 10. However, the manufacturer used to be Watson (pink packet), but now it is manufactured by Mayne (blue packet), which I give a 3 rating. I only took the Zovia pills manufactured by Mayne for 5 days. I stopped taking because I started to get acne and each day I was getting more pimples. I am not acne prone and the previous Zovia pills by Watson did not break me out. Now I am on Kelnor, which supposed to be similar to Zovia (both are generic for Demulen) however now my periods last about 8 days and I get small bumps on my face that clear up for a few days then reappear in different locations. So Kelnor is rated a 6."

"I've been using Zovia for about almost four months now and so far I think it's been wonderful, besides a few things. This was my first time ever trying birth control and I wasn't to sure about it. When I first started Zovia my first month was great no side affects or anything. Then my second month came and that's when everything went down hill. I started to get bad cramps, was very depressed, and was always throwing up. Also, my periods have actually gotten heavier and still last a full week. Till this day I still throw up every month one day out of my second/third week before my period. I still experience some depression but other than that my cramps and everything else have gone away."

"For me I’ve been on Zovia starting 7 months today , I’ve had pretty bad side affects but I don’t completely blame it on the pill itself. It’s helped cleared my acne and I have oily skin so it didn’t dry it out, I've lost weight (could be from other things though) and my hips have gotten wider but losing weight. The side affects I had were nausea , headaches, and other regular symptoms although I’m used to them since they’re hereditary for my family and i’ve always had really bad symptoms on my period. I got prescribed this for my periods because of how bad they were and they’ve reduced bleeding a lot. I only have little bleeding and spotting now, I’m just nervous because iIve never really been sexually active and I’m not sure how good this is going to work for that reason."

"I've been on this birth control for nine years, and I have loved it! I never have acne, and I've never had any hormonal side-effects. My periods only last one to three days, and they're very light."

"This is the best birth control I have ever taken but I am lately having problems finding it at some stores. The generic they had given me is TERRIBLE and I have terrible side effects!"

"I took zovia for one month. After one week of being on the medication, I felt awful. I was getting headaches and nausea. On top of that I had nonstop cravings. I had to go off of it!"

"I started this birth control pill 12 days ago. I'm 18 years old and take it for bad cramps and excessive bleeding. Ever since I started it I've had extremely debilitating nausea, anxiety, and loss of appetite. I stopped taking it yesterday in hopes of the terrible nausea ending. The nausea spread from my shoulders to the bottom of my sternum. I had anxiety attacks for no reason. I would not recommend this medication."
