For Endometriosis "I'm on my 2nd round of Necon 1/35. I started taking it because the doctor thinks I have endometriosis, but no one is really sure. My periods are extremely painful, and I lose my appetite completely. The side effects of Necon are the same as symptoms of pregnancy, which is kind of alarming. I'm also even more depressed and anxious than I was before I started taking it. I take it without the placebo week, and my period was lighter but longer. It's been two weeks, and I've still had terrible pain."

For Birth Control "Okay, so I have been taking Necon for 9 months because of heavy cramping and long periods. The first couple of months were fine. I was just always emotional and sometimes had a bad attitude. The last month, I have been kind of depressed and having anxiety attacks. It didn't come clear to me that it was the pills until my friend stated that was once her side effect. I have put on a couple of pounds, and I am now able to fill out a complete D cup (unfortunately), and my acne isn't as bad as it was. It's a 50/50 good product."

For Birth Control "I was on this for about 3 years. This summer I was getting really depressed and my anxiety was at an all-time high before I would get my period. My doctor put me on antidepressants and wanted to monitor me. After the summer was over, I felt like I had symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Random light cramps during any week that I wasn’t on my period. Headaches, acne flare-ups, brittle and weak nails, my hair seemed to fall out more often, weight gain, tired all the time, longer periods. I think my birth control has stopped working for me. Let’s just hope I’m not pregnant, lol. After my next period, I’ll be taking Yazmin instead. Necon was fantastic while it lasted."

For Birth Control "I had a horrible time with Trinessa, and it caused me to become depressed, and my anxiety was so bad too. My acne also became cystic with Trinessa and started to become constant and so very painful. My doctor put me on Necon because he said it is supposed to help balance my hormones. I am really excited for it."

For Menstrual Disorders "I had this to get my IVF cycle organized. Horrible side effects. Severe depression and mood swings. I had to stop the medication and cancel the IVF cycle."
