For Birth Control "I wanted to share my experience with this Orsythia pill. Well, I have now been taking it for about 5 months, and I love it. I was on the Nexplanon for 6 months before I changed to the pill, and it was the worst-so many symptoms, like headaches and nausea, and always so hungry. When I had my son, I was weighing 200 pounds before I had him and lost 30 when I gave birth, so I was down to 170. I tried my hardest to lose weight with the Nexplanon after inserting it after giving birth. I dieted well, eating 1,200 or fewer calories a day, doing 3 hours of workouts, and nothing. Right when I switched to the pill, I started losing weight rapidly. I was at 170, and now I'm at 142 in less than 4 months, and I haven't been as hungry ❤."

For Birth Control "My experience so far is not that good, but not that bad either. However, I would like to try a different brand besides this one. I've been using this brand for about 2 years. When I first started this birth control, I had very bad headaches for the first 3 or 4 months. My appetite at that time also increased. My acne was getting worse as well, but it's a good thing it has cleared up. I've been feeling so bloated and depressed lately that I felt like crying for no reason at all. I have had some chest pain as well, which I think is known as heartburn. It doesn't happen often, though. Now the pros of this brand are that I haven't had bad cramps like I used to. My periods have been regulated and light. It's not horrible, but it's not great either."

For Birth Control "I have severe menstrual pain, so bad to where I throw up, and I am in bed for the whole day. So I decided to get on the pill. My doctor prescribed me Orsythia, and it changed my mood severely. I was very mean and grumpy all the time, it felt like I was on edge all the time. Which is not like me at all, I am a very easygoing, go-with-the-flow, never really get mad type of person. It did not help my cramps as much as I thought it was going to. It also made me have really bad headaches and acne. It has been almost a week since I've stopped taking it, and my mood and acne have cleared up. The only thing now that I've noticed is that my knees and ankles ache after coming off of the medication. But I'm sure that will clear up soon."

For Birth Control "Since I've been taking the pill after giving birth, I suddenly get carsick easily, I get headaches all the time, and my stomach gets crazily sick. I don't know what to do because it does protect me."
