For Birth Control "I had never taken any type of birth control until I met my fiancée. I was on Implanon for almost 11 months, and I hated it! I had all the side effects that came with it, plus my period for all those months non-stop, and to say I almost ruined my relationship. To top it off, I got an infection from using tampons all the time. Anyway, today is my 5th day taking Sronyx, and I already feel great, no side effects whatsoever. I'm happy again without any mood swings. I really recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "This is my first month on this name brand. Before, I used Lessina, which I used for one year, and my pharmacist said it's the same pill under a different name. I have much lighter periods with almost non-existent cramps. My periods are 1 day shorter. I do have a light PMS for about a week beforehand, which doesn't thrill me, but it's worth the trade-off. I have no emotional side effects, and my sex drive seems the same. I still have good vaginal lubrication, which was an issue for me with a different birth control, so I am happy about that. My weight has been up and down my whole life, so I can't blame the birth control. I'm a happy camper with Sronyx. I wish it was cheaper, though."

For Birth Control "I've been using Sronyx for a few months now, and at first, I was iffy about it. I was super moody, my breasts were tender all of the time, and my nose, which hasn't bled in over three years prior to taking it, would bleed like crazy. However, as someone who has suffered from ungodly heavy and painful periods lasting the full seven days, this has been amazing. Cramps, while they still suck, aren't close to half as bad. My period usually lasts about five days and is so much lighter. My breasts are still super tender, but no more nosebleeds, moodiness is back to normal, and not so awful periods."

For Birth Control "I started this pill about 8 months ago, and I blew up. I’ve gained at least 40 pounds, and not to mention it made my boobs grow out of nowhere. When I first started taking this pill, I was a 36C, and now I am a 40DD. I hate this pill. Because of all the weight gain, I can’t fit into my clothes, and it causes depression. The only reason I gave this pill a 2 was because I haven’t gotten pregnant, but the side effects are bad."

For Birth Control "I've been taking Sronyx for 2 weeks. Previously, I took Generess for 4 years. Loved it. Stopped because insurance will only cover the new generic version, and it caused irregular periods for me. The purpose for taking BC/Sronyx is to shorten and lighten my periods because of my anemia. So far, I have experienced the following side effects: - Bloat/weight gain (4 lbs) - Moodiness/irritability (severe) - Acne (I've NEVER had acne issues until now!) - Chest/side neck pain - Breast swelling/tenderness (for some reason, my right breast hurts more often) - Scalp/skin itchiness - Trouble wearing contacts (dry eyes, mild burning sensation at times). Overall: I do not recommend this BC. My body doesn't like it at all. Looking to switch immediately."

For Birth Control "I have been taking Sronyx for about a year now, and it's been pretty good to me. I am a bit more moody, and my appetite has increased a little with this pill (I've gained 10 pounds but managed to lose 5). But overall, this is a good pill. It cleared up my acne, and the appetite increase is manageable. I would recommend this pill."

For Birth Control "I went on this pill after being on the NuvaRing for several years, and I have never felt so depressed. My life is wonderful and relatively low stress, but everything seems like a hurdle while I'm taking this pill. Not to mention a severely decreased sex drive. I actually look forward to my period weeks when I don't have the hormones in my system! Definitely looking forward to going off this pill - almost a year of it and the only positive was not getting pregnant!"

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "Taken the pill for 4 months now, after having no period for 6 months. Since I started the pill, I have had two periods each pack, despite taking the pills like clockwork. I've also developed sore breasts and super painful cyst-like acne all the time. No weight gain, nausea, or blood pressure issues, though. Not going to take this anymore!"

For Birth Control "I’ve been taking Sronyx for at least 3 months, and I do not like it at all. I’ve been spotting every day for over a month and have terrible mood swings. I go from 0 to 100 so fast, it’s embarrassing. I went from working out 3 times a week to barely making it through the day with any energy left. I will be switching to something better. The only pro is my breasts have gotten a little fuller. I’ll take being flat-chested over bleeding out any day."

For Birth Control "I didn’t want the reviews to sway my opinion on this medication, so I decided to take it anyway. I’ve been on it for about a month, and I’m getting off of it tonight. I have OCD/anxiety, and nothing has ever made my depression and anxiety so bad. I have zero energy, and headaches every single day. I wake up several times throughout the night sweating and wake up almost every hour. As soon as I wake up, I get this overwhelming feeling of wanting to cry. I’m not an emotional person, but I’ve cried at least once every day on this pill from how miserable it’s made me. I lost 10 lbs, completely lost my appetite for a week, and was so dehydrated I had to go to the ER. I figured the pill must be the culprit due to the overwhelming amount of similar reviews, and I pray I feel back to normal after a couple of days. I’m never taking this pill again, you couldn’t pay me a million bucks to."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "My doctor prescribed this pill to help reduce my heavy bleeding due to fibroids. I'm on my 2nd month and am very happy with the pill, it has significantly reduced my period flow. I also have anxiety and have noticed this pill has helped with my mood swings. I'm more relaxed and less irritated. I don't get spotting in between periods, and that's a plus."

For Birth Control "I've always had bad skin, but after 4 months on this pill, I had painful cystic acne all over my jawline. It didn't even look like acne, but I looked it up online and it was in fact hormonal acne brought on by birth control. I would also get terrible headaches the day my period started."

For Birth Control "I was switched automatically from Lutera to this Sronyx by my pharmacy 6 weeks ago. I’ve been on birth control on and off for 17 years and have two kids. This is not the same as Lutera, even though it is marketed with the same active ingredients. I’ve been on the pill 6 weeks, and I cannot have a good orgasm with my husband. We’ve tried everything, and the last 8 times it has been flat. This is the only thing that has changed in the past 6 weeks."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I had a severe reaction to this medication. I will never recommend this to anyone! Severe acne all over my face, neck, chest, and back. I gained 6 lbs in the first week, and then 3 more the next week. I had a headache that never went away."

For Birth Control "The first 3 months on Sronyx were very difficult. I've now been on it for a year, and overall I don't like it. I have bad headaches once a month, my skin is always breaking out, and my overall mood is flat."

For Birth Control "I have only been on Sronyx for a week and a half, and I already feel as if I am gaining a large amount of weight. I took Aviane for a year prior (I was off birth control in between Aviane and Sronyx for about a year) and found that I lost weight on that pill. I'm wondering if weight gain is just an initial side effect of Sronyx and that I'll eventually go back to my normal weight?"

For Birth Control "I absolutely love Sronyx! I had a few issues with it for only the first few months: such as my acne was pretty bad at first, but it was probably because my hormones were starting to adjust to taking the birth control. After about a month or two, the acne had subsided, and now my face is clear! I also initially experienced a bit of weight gain, especially in my breasts. But with some working out at the gym and keeping my appetite at bay, all of that initial weight gain is now gone, and I am back to my normal size! My periods have been a breeze. I still experience some cramping, but it's not nearly as bad as before I went on birth control. My bleeding is also a LOT lighter, I no longer have to change my tampon every hour like I used to. The first few months are a little rocky, but don't give up on it after just a month or two. Just wait it out and allow your body some time to get used to this pill... it will be worth it!"

For Birth Control "I LOVED this birth control. I had absolutely no issues with it, and I would totally recommend it. But obviously, everyone’s body is different, so other people may have had horrible experiences, but it worked well for me."

"BEST BIRTH CONTROL EVER. I took Yasmin when I was 16, and it made me a total wackadoo... so I was a tad wary about trying any sort of hormonal birth control again... but I'm so glad I did! I've been on Sronyx for about a month, and I feel great! My libido has even gone up, which my boyfriend greatly appreciates."

For Birth Control "I've been on Sronyx for about 9 months now, and it's been an overall good experience. My acne level has stayed the same. My periods used to be heavy all the way through for 7-8 days, and now it's only 5-6, along with it becoming much lighter. The only downfall is I gained 10 pounds, which is very abnormal for me since I am very active. So far, I haven't gotten pregnant, but I didn't use a condom yesterday for the first time since I started using it, so we'll see how that goes! Overall, a good product!"

For Birth Control "Horrendous experience. I was on Orsythia for 8 years with no issues whatsoever. That was suddenly discontinued by the manufacturer one day this year (likely for financial reasons, as I can’t find anything about it being harmful), and I was given Sronyx. Since the day I started it, I have had daily abdominal pain severe enough not to hold food down and acne like I’m 18 again (I’m in my 30s). Disgusted at these pharma companies for just suddenly pulling a med without warning and claiming that these generic medications are exactly the same - based on these hundreds of reviews, it’s clear that the inactive makeup of the drugs does not all react the same in our bodies."

For Birth Control "I took this birth control for 3 years. I’m so glad I got off it. I can’t believe how stupid I was not to see the correlation between my destroyed relationships and erratic behavior and this pill. I trusted the medical industry so much and never even thought to ask my doctor about it. Even though I went ballistic and wanted to hurt myself regularly, I thought it was just my problem for some mystery reason, like “depression” or “still getting over a breakup!” because I’m a “woman”! If you’re behaving like you’re possessed or have any anxiety, it’s not you, it’s the pill. Since I stopped taking it, I haven’t had a single issue or anxiety attack or anything. Not only that, I started hearing music in my head again. Only once it came back did I realize it had been gone for so long. Never again."

"I was put on Sronyx after my pharmacy was not able to provide me with Aviane. To start off with, I did feel like it was an adjustment going from Aviane to Sronyx. I was on Aviane for 3 months before switching, and I noticed I felt more anxious and short-fused during the first and maybe the second pack of Sronyx. I did notice that I lost weight though (just a few pounds of water weight, I think). I have now taken Sronyx for 3 months and don't really feel like there are negative symptoms. Prior to taking Sronyx, I was SEVERELY depressed around my cycle (PMDD is a real thing) and was having repetitive intrusive thoughts about death. I also had ridiculously painful periods, to the degree the pain would cause me to vomit multiple nights in a row. Three months into taking this pill, the intrusive thoughts are gone, and I just get minor cramps. I honestly feel like I got my life back and could not be happier."

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "I have more headaches than usual, and I am always bloated and hungry with non-stop cravings. The only good thing is that my periods go from light to barely there. I love that aspect. I never had any skin issues, so that was not my concern. I take pills to regulate my cycle, which it does. But I can do without the headaches and weight gain."

For Birth Control "I have been on Sronyx for 5 months now. I had Mirena previously, which was a nightmare, but that's another story. Since I started this pill, I've had no problems or side effects until recently. I am now constantly bloated, with abdominal pain that varies, an upset stomach, and white vaginal discharge. I have no idea what has brought on these symptoms, but it is quite annoying. I have taken a pregnancy test just to rule out causes, and the test was negative. Overall, this medication does serve its purpose, and if there are no further problems, I will continue to use it."
