For Birth Control "Got put onto Larin Fe after having an allergic reaction to the Nexplanon implant. It has a very low dose of estrogen, and I didn't notice any side effects, to be honest. No breakthrough bleedings either, which tends to happen to me after three months of taking oral pills. The only thing I'm hesitant about is whether or not my anxiety has gotten worse because of the meds."

For Birth Control "I've been taking this birth control for over a month now and have noticed a few side effects from it. Firstly, it has caused me to become an anxious mess, I've always had anxiety, but my anxiety has gotten progressively worse with this birth control due to the fact I missed my period. This birth control has also caused me to have sore breasts and random cramping throughout the weeks. I have felt so overwhelmed and anxious on this birth control. I wouldn't recommend it if you suffer from severe anxiety to begin with. I normally never cry from anxiety, but this birth control has turned me into an emotional mess. I spent 3-4 weeks freaking out because I thought I was pregnant, alas, I am probably not since I use this birth control and condoms. I only have three side effects: missed period, breast tenderness, and random cramping."

For Birth Control "I had a very negative experience with this birth control. I only took it for one month and had to switch brands. It made me have the worst anxiety and depression of my life to the point where I couldn’t leave my bed. It also gave me terrible breakouts. Everyone’s body reacts differently, but I wouldn’t recommend this birth control to anyone."

For Birth Control "I was recently switched to Larin Fe without my knowledge because Junel Fe was out of stock, so they switched to a generic brand and the name was covered on the label, so I didn’t think anything of it. The last two months I have been broken out head to toe with severe breakouts, couldn’t sleep at all, and had random severe anxiety, and I would snap in a second over the stupidest things. I now stopped taking it altogether and can now sleep, my breakouts are clearing up, and no more anxiety or feeling to cry or snap at anyone. I would never recommend this birth control to anyone. I feel pharmacists should be letting us know when there is a change from regular to generic brands for this reason. I pray this saves someone from making the wrong choice."

For Birth Control "This is the first birth control I’ve been on. Long story short, I cannot wait to be switching. I’ve never experienced anxiety before going on this pill. I have extremely negative thoughts and became so insecure. I have an extremely low sex drive now and haven’t gotten my period since I’ve been on it. To add to these issues, a few months into taking these pills, my breasts hurt so bad I can’t touch them and barely get out of bed. I hope the new pill I switch to is much better."

For Birth Control "I have been on the Larin Fe 1/20 pill for 6 months now, and it has been great! The last pill that I was on sent me into a deep depression, therefore, I switched to Larin, and I haven’t had any side effects. Recently, I have had anxiety about pregnancy, but I take my pill every day from around 8 am to 10 am, so I should be fine. However, my period has just started being irregular in this past month. Really weird, but this is the only issue I’ve experienced."

For Birth Control "Immediately after starting this medicine, I began gaining weight, causing self-esteem issues. I also notice a big increase in my anxiety and depression, having very dark thoughts, and almost feeling like I was in a constant state of panic. I would often cry and feel sadness for no reason, which caused me to feel extremely tired and irritable. I stopped liking things I usually loved. Don’t recommend for people that suffer with mental health."

For Birth Control "This was my very first time taking birth control. The pill was very easy to take. I did not have physical symptoms stated in the reviews except for sore breasts occasionally. One thing I absolutely did not like about this pill was the mood swings. This would have been the perfect pill if it didn’t affect my mood. I have fallen into near-deep anxiety and depression halfway through the second month. My boyfriend and my friends even noticed it. I wouldn’t recommend this pill to anyone who was previously depressed. I have attempted suicide on this pill, just grateful my boyfriend was there that day."

For Birth Control "I have been on Larin for 4 years now to ease period bleeding and cramps. I no longer get periods, and I have not gained weight, but my anxiety has gotten pretty bad."
