For Birth Control "I was on Minastrin for 3 years when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me Mibelas. I have been on Mibelas for 4 months now and hate it. My headaches are more severe, I gained weight with no change in my diet, my legs ache almost all the time, anxiety is worse. I am waking up in the night with anxiety, mood swings, and a short temper. Plus, when on Minastrin, I never got my period, now I get it, and the cramps are horrible. I would not recommend this pill to anyone and can't wait to switch it, even if I have to pay out of pocket."

For Birth Control "I wish I had read about this pill before taking it. I was on Minestrin for two years and loved it. CVS switched me to Mibelas, and I experienced terrible headaches and extreme shortness of breath to the point I thought I was going to choke to death. It took me a while to figure out it was the Mibelas, but when I did, I stopped taking it, and I never felt better. I had constant headaches for the two months I was taking it, and severe anxiety. I stopped going to class and literally thought I was losing my mind. It is not worth the price difference between Minestrin and Mibelas. This product should not even be sold."

For Birth Control "I have been on Mibelas since April, still continuing to follow my same dieting and exercise patterns (4-5 times per week). I have gained 12 lbs since then, had terrible headaches and lack of sleep, my period has been longer and heavier, as well as my anxiety is at an all-time high. I am going back to my original birth control, just upsetting that now I have to pay for it or use something that has worked for years with no problem."

For Birth Control "Like most people, my insurance stopped covering my Taytulla, so my GYN put me on this and said it was the generic. I've only been on it for 3 weeks, and within the first week, I was already feeling gross and bloated. I already feel like I’ve gained 5 pounds, and I eat really well and work out. The headaches are horrendous to the point they make me nauseous and feel like I need to vomit. Hopefully, the side effects get better!"

For Birth Control "Like many others on here, I was swapped onto the Mibelas 24 Fe pill due to insurance reasons. I have nothing that good to say about this pill. I’ve noticed an increase in anxiety, weight gain of around 15 pounds, heavier periods, longer-lasting periods, irregularity in periods, more headaches, sore breasts, cramps (never had cramps before taking this), cystic acne."

For Birth Control "I took Loestrin and then Minastrin for years. I was off the pill for a couple of years and then wanted to get back on. My doctor prescribed Mibelas. I started taking the first pack on the first day of my period, and then my period lasted for 11 days. I stuck it out for 4 months. I've never had any spotting on or off the pill, and with Mibelas I was spotting for at least a week every month in the middle of the pack, and then I'd still get my period. It killed my sex drive and gave me headaches. The only benefit is it gave me slightly clearer skin and kept me from getting pregnant. Worst birth control I've ever taken."

For Birth Control "Prevented me from ever being pregnant, but had to stop taking it because I've been heavily bleeding for over a week on this medication and it is month 4 now of me taking it. I took it at the same time every day and never missed a pill. Made me bloated, get headaches, and want to cry every night. Happy to be switching to a new birth control because this was a mess."

For Birth Control "There is a recall on this pill, do not take it. This pill personally gave me heavy bleeding and a severe headache."
