For Birth Control "I started Nortrel in August 2016, and whenever I went on it, my appetite increased like crazy, and I became severely depressed. I started binge eating and gained about 20 lbs in two months. For a while, I didn't put two and two together and thought that I was just depressed and developing terrible eating habits. The next few months, I was going through therapy and trying to get my binge eating under control. Nothing worked, and I felt awful. Finally, about two months ago, I questioned whether the birth control was to blame for all of my problems. I went off and got a Skyla IUD, and let me tell you... BEST DECISION EVER! I've lost about 5 lbs in a month with no effort, and I definitely have noticed that my appetite is back to normal since switching."

"So I'm a 17-year-old girl that's always active... loves to run and is always on the go. I've started using this birth control and now I don't want to do anything but sleep. I know for a fact that it's the pill because this isn't me at all. I feel lethargic as soon as 3:00 pm hits, making it highly impossible to work out. I did also notice that it did increase my appetite. But no, I didn't gain weight, and my stomach feels fine. No cramps, bloating, or anything... just really tired."

For Birth Control "Just say no! I am not able to sleep at night. Always tired, probably because I can’t sleep. Have headaches. I’m always hot. My appetite increased. No sex drive. Just say no, but I guess everyone is different. Not for me."
