For Birth Control "The problem I noticed right away was nausea a few hours after taking each pill, even if I ate before/after taking it. I'd wake up in the middle of the night to vomit for the first few weeks. I was prescribed nausea medication, which worked beautifully and I eventually didn't need it anymore (still nausea, just no vomiting). Later on, I noticed the mood problems. I've never been a very emotional person but it's made me a wreck. I have had a constant sinking feeling and sobbing fits over nothing. BUT on the bright side, periods are much more moderate and controlled, and no pregnancy after a year of use."

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 Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I've only been on Falmina for 3 months, and I'm on the fence about it. I'm having abnormal periods. They last almost two weeks now. My period comes the last week of the active pills and will last almost all 14 days. Acne hasn't been that bad so far, but the nausea is pretty terrible. The doctor said to give it at least 6 months, so we will see."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Luterra since 2014, then went to the generic brand Avianne 28. Last month, my pharmacy switched it to this brand. I haven't had acne since my teen years, and this brand caused me to break out. The second side effect I experienced was, if not every day, then every other day, I'd get very bad migraines. The only way I was able to connect my migraines to this brand of birth control was being on the 4th week/sugar pills. During this time, I did not experience a migraine. I called my doctor, told her my experience, and found it's when the pharmacy has run low on certain birth control. They use what's in stock, and I called the pharmacy and told them of my experience. The pharmacy made a note and is able to divert that from happening to me again."

For Birth Control "I switched to this birth control after being on Larin Fe, which made me feel completely crazy. I have been on this pill for 6 months, and I did really like it. I used to have extremely heavy periods with horrendous cramps, and since going on this, my periods are much lighter, shorter, and typically no cramps at all. The only negative is that I have breast tenderness pretty much the entire month. It only ever stops during placebo week. Lately, though, I have felt extremely anxious, and I hope this pill won't turn out like Larin Fe, where I felt so crazy and anxious 24/7! I haven't gotten pregnant on it either, so that is a major plus."

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."

For Birth Control "Falmina birth control works absolutely amazing, very well to make sure you don't get pregnant. My period is only 4 days now. I have no mood changes or anything. Absolutely love my pills."

For Birth Control "I took the Falmina pill to try to ease myself into menopause. After taking only a month, I suffered a stroke that has disabled me for the rest of my life."

For Birth Control "Works fine for me, no acne, weight gain, and it makes me less moody during my periods, which are also very light now. Don’t have to use anything higher than a regular/light."
