For Birth Control "Orsythia is my first birth control and I have been taking it for a year now. I started out with tender and growing boobs for a couple of months, which is fine, and I have gained weight because it makes me crave food. However, my periods are a lot lighter, always on time, and no cramps. My acne slightly subsided, but I break out badly on my chin right before my period. A little more irritable and emotional, but so worth it. I’m too scared to switch because all other BC reviews are horrible. After a while, my boobs went back to normal size."

For Birth Control "This was the first birth control I have tried, so I have nothing to compare it to. For the first two months, I can say it was not bad. My mood was okay, it was not that big of a difference. My third and fourth months were pretty bad. I had really bad mood swings and awful cramps that were so bad I had to take off work. I would then have bad breakthrough bleeding a week before my period, so I would be bleeding for two weeks straight. After my fourth month was over, I switched."

For Birth Control "This is my favorite birth control. The only side effect I got from it was being more emotional, but that didn’t really bother me. I didn’t gain weight, get acne, etc. I’m currently researching for a new BC pill because they discontinued this one :( and I’m not sure as to why because it’s popular. I’ve tried Aviane, terrible for me, and they’re trying to make me take Larissa, but I’ve read a million bad reviews on it and am NOT taking it. I wish you could comment on these because I’d definitely take down recommendations you’d give."

For Birth Control "My experience with Orsythia is horrible! I have only been on this medication for two weeks, and I'm giving up. I keep having mood swings. I was angry at my mom and fiancé for no reason. I threw my cellphone at my fiancé. Lately, the anxiety attacks are just killing me. I already have anxiety, but this medication makes it so much worse. I literally have at least four anxiety attacks daily. I take my anxiety medication, and it still doesn't help, which usually it does. Last night, I had an anxiety attack so bad two hours after taking the pill, and I couldn't even rest. I'm not taking this anymore! Also, I've been eating like crazy. I had fast food, then came home and cooked pizza."

For Birth Control "This pill has made me so emotional. I'll be crying over the most pointless things and can't seem to control my emotions. I was never like this before, although it has lightened my periods."

For Birth Control "I would not recommend this birth control. I had severe mood swings and was always fatigued. I switched from the patch Ortha Evra to this pill to get better results, and it did not work for me at all!"

For Birth Control "Pill worked well at preventing pregnancy, but I would bleed for 3-5 weeks straight. It was awful and made me very, very, very cranky and moody."

For Birth Control "Horrible drug. Discontinued after one week. Nausea, swollen feet and hands, and extreme mood swings."
