For Birth Control "I've been on Falmina for a little over two weeks now. I have noticed that it has caused some mental health issues, I'm much more emotional with panic attacks. I've gained 5 pounds, which coming from someone who has been no more than 100 pounds since I was 16 (now 26), seems like a lot, although I am unsure if the weight gain is due to the birth control since I haven't been on it very long. I switched to this brand after I went to see my PCP. I plan to have him switch me to another one due to the emotional distress this brand has caused me, but I wouldn't say not to give it a try. Different birth controls work differently with women. We all don't have the same hormones and bodies."

For Ovarian Cysts "This BC in only one month has given me the worst experience. I’m constantly nauseous and dizzy. Have gained eight pounds even though I have had loss of appetite and have been retaining water like crazy, my ankles are swollen so bad. Have always had bad anxiety, but it has become crippling, and I have experienced a lot of dark thoughts and am constantly sad. This medicine is horrible, and I will never take it again."

For Birth Control "My gyn put me on Aviane. So I was taking that for only a month, and for my second month, I had switched to a different pharmacy location, and they didn't have Aviane, but instead, they gave me Falmina, stating it is generic for Aviane. My first month on it, I experienced no side effects, which kinda scared me cause I thought it wasn't working. But now I'm in my second month, and I thought I continued to be side effect free until I've become crazy depressed, angry, irrational, anxiety, and I blamed it all on the fact that it is the end of my semester, so I have a ton of finals and stuff to worry about. But as I was just taking my BC, I decided to check the reviews just because... and almost everyone is experiencing these same side effects."
