For Birth Control "I've been on this birth control for two months now, and none of the horrible side effects have calmed down. I know it is from this birth control because I just stopped taking it this week, and every single symptom went away immediately. I had extreme heart palpitations, nausea (literally would throw up all the time), my period would continue for the entire month, extreme mood swings, depression, anger, and worst of all, constant fatigue. I feel energetic, happy, and so much better ever since I stopped taking these pills. These pills should not be allowed on the market."

For Birth Control "I started this pill less than a week ago after my pharmacy did not have my normal Loestrin, and I already have so many bad side effect symptoms. I have about 5 cystic acne pimples on my forehead when my skin was 100% clear before taking this pill. My cramps are so bad, and I am not even close to starting my period. I cannot stop eating all the time, I am always hungry and bloated. My mood swings are terrible, and I have never struggled with depression and anxiety, and it has been so bad. It has not even been a week! I am stopping this pill immediately after reading reviews and realizing that this pill is having the same effects on other people."

For Birth Control "This pill has changed my life for the worse. I have lost love and interest for things such as my sport, school, and hobbies. My acne got worse, and I have never been so depressed. I have gotten such low motivation and have anxiety attacks almost daily. I also overthink things that I have already gotten over. Please do not take this pill... there are better birth control options out there."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for about a week and a half, and I cannot stop crying. I totally stopped eating. I wake up with depression and anxiety and fall asleep with depression and anxiety. I literally have never felt so low in my life. I hope no one else ever has to feel this way."

For Birth Control "The worst birth control I’ve ever taken, and this is only the second birth control pill I’ve tried. My obgyn prescribed me this birth control because I told her about my concerns with depression and mood swings from my last birth control pill I took, and she told me to rest assured it would be fine, and she prescribed me this one. She didn’t tell me anything, no, nothing about it. Two weeks later into this pill, I’ve been more depressed than I already was, no motivation, and sleep a lot more throughout the day. That’s not even the worst part though. I began to have shortness of breath, chest pains, and very lightheaded. Didn’t think anything big of it after two days, and it hit a point where I was very, very pale and almost passed out, so I went to the ER and underwent a CT scan and found out I had blood clots not in just one of my lungs but both! Worst thing I’ve experienced, SMH."

For Birth Control "This feels like a punishment. Not only did it make me so incredibly sore and crampy I couldn’t move, and I was emotionally wrecked. PCOS cramps aside, it gave me a complete abdominal muscle lock-up within two weeks of use and caused me to completely disconnect from my emotions. If you've ever felt major depression or anxiety, this worsens both. I cried multiple times a day until I had such puffy eyes they wouldn’t open. Horrible. Do not try it."

For Birth Control "I didn’t like this Aurovela Fe 1.5/30 pill at all. I get my period twice a month, and it makes me bleed a lot. It also makes me gain weight and makes me anxious and depressed. The only positive thing is that I don’t get acne, but so far, this is one of the worst pills I ever tried. The best for me was Microgestin. I only got this one because my pharmacy changed it."

For Birth Control "This birth control is by far the worst one I've ever been on. I would literally rather go back to Depo, and I bled for months on it! Walgreens switched from Taytulla to this, and Aurovela has given me the worst yeast infection, acne, mood swings. I have no appetite, my anxiety and depression have gotten worse, it's spiking my blood pressure, and my poor libido. I have to take antidepressants now. It did help ease my menstrual pain, I'll give it that, but these side effects are definitely not worth it. After reading other reviews, I'm glad I'm not alone. I'm stopping this ASAP!"

For Birth Control "I've been on this medication for several months now. I was prescribed Junel, but they've been out of stock for months, so this is what the pharmacy has been giving me. I've had anxiety in the past, plus I was in a pretty toxic relationship, so I thought my symptoms were normal and not a result of the BC. I've been battling with severe anxiety and waves of depression. The week before my period, I'm very irritable and can't stand life. I'm so glad you ladies spoke up. I seriously was thinking I was losing my mind. I'm completely abstinent now, so I'm going to stop taking it, and hopefully my anxiety and depression subsides. I did notice that I had no anxiety on the days that I took my reminder pills. I really hope this solves my issues. I have been so miserable inside my own skin. It's been a very scary experience. I'm giving it a 5 because it did do a good job as a contraceptive. The side effects are just too much for me."

For Birth Control "This is terrible! I’ve had constant spotting, severe depression, nausea, one minute I can eat everything in my fridge, the next I don’t want anything to do with food. I’m also breaking out in this horrible rash. And I do not have sensitive skin, so I knew it was from this birth control because I stopped it for a week, it went away, then I started it again and my entire back has a really bad rash. I’ve also had really bad cramps. I’m so disappointed. This just did not work for me. I’m giving it a 3 because at the end of the day it did do its job… but side effects were TERRIBLE."
