"I got put on this pill because Minastrin took away its discount card and gave it to Taytulla. I gave it four months, and it was horrible. I know that all pills have side effects, and I'm pretty good about putting up with whatever they are. But this has been the worst. The mood swings, depression, and fatigue are intense. I'm a generally happy person, very motivated, and have no history of depression. This pill made me want to give up on life. I'm going back to Minastrin and paying full price just to be able to be back to somewhat normal."

"DON'T TAKE THIS BIRTH CONTROL!! I started taking Taytulla about one month ago. About a week in, all the symptoms and side effects started to show up. I was extremely nauseous, my depression and anxiety went through the roof and made me feel absolutely terrible. I was having crying episodes and felt anxious about life and relationships. I also have been bleeding for 8+ days with really bad abdominal cramps. I just recently stopped taking it yesterday. My anxiety and depression are still present, my gyno said it could take a month for my hormones to regulate. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE."

"I have been on Taytulla for 6 months now, and it has made me extremely depressed. I started feeling these symptoms 3 months in but decided to give it some time before cutting it off. I barely leave my house anymore, I never hang out with my friends. I am always sad, nervous, tired, and anxious. I have trouble gaining motivation to attend school. Overall, it has just made me extremely depressed, and this will be the last packet I take of it. It has done a great job at preventing pregnancy, but the emotional distress just isn't worth it anymore."

"At first, I was pretty hesitant to try Taytulla after all the horrific reviews I read. But I figured I would give it a shot. I tried Seasonique for over a year, I would get a lot of clotting while on that pill and gained about 25 pounds. I was also getting a lot of hormonal acne, so I decided to switch to Trinessa. Five months of Trinessa, my period was all out of whack, my acne was worsening, and I had terrible mood swings, which was not ideal. I switched to Taytulla after two months of this new birth control, my first period was very light, no headaches, my coworkers say I'm happier, and no cramps. I feel everyone's body is different, so hopefully, others don't think all the bad reviews will happen to them and that they try for themselves. Also, my insurance covered it at 100%."

"I literally hate this birth control. It gave me horrible stomach bloating and made my sex drive completely shut off. The absolute worst thing was that I kept getting yeast infections. I had 15 infections in a time span of 1 year. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, so I finally stopped taking this BC, and I haven't had one since. Avoid this BC at all costs."

"I have been using Taytulla for just over 6 months. It is by far the best experience I have had so far using birth control. Other birth control left me with a wide range of emotions and random crying. I consulted my OB-GYN, and she recommended Taytulla, which has a lower estrogen level. I feel like a happier person, and my emotions are much more stable! The only side effect I have experienced was weight gain. I live a very active lifestyle and gained about 7 lbs."

"I took Taytulla for 3 months and finished my last pack 2 weeks ago. The past 3 months I... have had shorter cycles but spotting in between cycles each month, so shorter cycles mean nothing to me if I’m just going to spot all month. increase in headaches, NO SEX DRIVE, like at all! This is NOT normal! Especially for us newlyweds who waited."

"I am a first-time birth control user, and I wanted a more natural pill. I have been taking Taytulla for almost a year now. The only symptoms I noticed after I first started were occasional nausea, headaches, and random spotting. Now I don't notice any side symptoms, and I don't have a period unless I don't take Taytulla for a week. Even after missing a week, I didn't experience any side effects again. Just that my painful period came back. I'm not entirely sure that this birth control doesn't affect my emotions/moods because I have had a life-changing year. All in all, I love not having painful cramps or periods anymore and feel safe."

"I have been on Taytulla for 3 months and have had my period since I started taking the pill. (That’s a fourth of the year!) I have had cramps the entire time as well. About 2 years ago I was on Taytulla and had no problems up until the last month of taking it. I had terrible mood swings and awful cramps. So my doctor recommended I try it again and have had awful results. I do not recommend this form of birth control."

"This birth control seemed great. Started it in June to control endometriosis and had very few problems with mood, etc. It completely stopped my periods. About 3.5 months after starting this pill, I started having MASSIVE hair loss. Clumps of hair falling out, nothing slowing it down at all. After reading another similar review, I decided to stop the birth control pill to see if it could be the cause. Within 3 days of stopping the BCP, my hair loss started to dramatically slow. I had a lot of hair to begin with, I've lost probably 40 percent of my hair. Would really suggest trying another pill."

"I was happy on TriSprintec for years but then experienced persistent vaginal dryness. My doctor said it was probably hormonal and switched me to Taytulla. Now, 2 months in, my dryness seems much better. I had minor spotting the week before my period (which is normal when you switch birth control) and an extremely light period during the non-active pills. I lost about 5 pounds. I had my first episode of BV ever during/after my first period on Taytulla, but my doctor said it's probably not related to switching pills. My skin didn't break out. My mood and anxiety levels feel unchanged, and I have had mild-moderate anxiety on and off in the past. My sex drive also seems good-maybe even a little higher on this pill. Overall, I am extremely happy with Taytulla. Everyone is different, so don't be afraid of negative reviews. It might take a few different pills before you find the right one for you. Be patient and trust your doctor-not necessarily everything you read on the internet."

"Y'all!!! So I had the worst experience with BC a few years back and haven't been on one since because I was so scared. I decided to give it another try years later, and my doctor prescribed me Taytulla. This BC is a life changer! Completely cleared up my acne, no mental side effects (this was a big one for me), no weight gain. I mean, this stuff truly is the best. At the beginning, my periods were very irregular but started regulating itself at pack 3. Sadly, my insurance doesn't cover it anymore, so I will be switching, but I am so sad about it. If you are scared to try birth control again like me, this is a good place to start!"

"I have only been on Taytulla for 5 days, and I had a major emotional breakdown today and realized my anxiety has been getting worse and worse daily! Today was the worst I have ever been, and usually I'm a pretty calm soul! My husband said, 'You need to get off that BC immediately.' I have had a tubal and was given samples of this to try to control my periods, which are irregular and usually last 2 weeks. I'd rather have a 2-week-long horrible period than put my family through me acting the way I did today. I'll be flushing the rest of these samples. Back to the drawing board, doc."

"If you have an anxiety disorder, do not take Taytulla birth control. I have it, and taking the first pill, my heart rate increased, I was shaking, sweating, and felt really bad. Probably, it works for people without an anxiety disorder. But it is not for me!"

"I took Taytulla after I had my first child, and it was good for about a month. Then I started gaining a whole bunch of weight, and I didn't know why. I did not eat much junk, and I had a pretty balanced diet, but with all the weight gain, my doc prescribed me a diet pill. It worked, but I never lost more than 10 lb. Now my husband and I are trying to conceive and have been off the pill for 5 months, but I have not had one period, no spotting, nothing. I feel like this pill messed up my ovulation. I don't know if that is even possible, but once I got off the pill, I did lose some weight, but still no period."

"This birth control is absolutely terrible. I was prescribed Lo Loestrin Fe about 6 months back for excruciating cramps, but it did nothing, so I was prescribed Taytulla recently. I cramp almost all the time now, my breasts are tender, I get sharp, stabbing pains in my lower abdomen, uncomfortable back pain, I have severe chest pain (especially at night), and overall, I've just been feeling really down. It's caused me to gain so much weight as well; in fact, I've gained almost 5 pounds this week! The only good thing about this medicine is the fact that it cleared my skin. Everyone has different experiences, though, but mine was awful. I do not recommend this medicine."

"Taytulla is the third birth control I've tried, and I love it. I barely get a period anymore (light spotting), which is great for me because I used to experience really heavy bleeding and awful cramps. I've experienced some changes in appetite, but with no weight gain, my anxiety hasn't worsened (a severe side effect of another pill I was on), and my cramps are relatively non-existent. I plan on continuing to use this birth control for a long time."

"I’ve spent so much money on pregnancy tests because this birth control makes me feel pregnant, weight gain, boobs getting bigger, nauseous, body cramps, migraines, and I have very light bleeding for only a few days a month. It scares me!"

"I started this two months ago, and at first, was apprehensive with the great or horrible reviews. People either loved it or hated it. Luckily for me, I am quite fond of it. It has helped my acne and overall skin. I did have slight breast tenderness and growth the first month (from a small B to a large B, sometimes C). Period-wise, my periods are shorter, and cramps aren't as bad, but not nonexistent. I have had slight weight gain (120-124). Overall, I really like this birth control, it has done its job in not getting me pregnant!"

"I've been taking this birth control for a couple of months, and it has been an emotional rollercoaster. Shortness of breath, nausea, weight gain, horrible menstrual cramps, periods in between periods. It's been awful. I would not recommend this pill to anyone."

"After reading some pretty bad reviews on here, I was pretty hesitant to try this, but after being on Mibelas for about two years, I started having stomach pain and breakthrough bleeding, so my doctor prescribed this. Only been on it for a month, but I feel great!! Had a little cramping and spotting in between periods, but nothing crazy. Everyone is different when it comes to birth control, so don’t let negative reviews stop you from trying it! It also takes your body about three months to really adjust to the hormones anyway. Good luck out there!"

"I was almost too scared to try Taytulla after reading the horrific reviews, but I’m on month three and Taytulla has been working WONDERS!! I switched from a very high dosage birth control, and I was really scared my body would go whacky on this. My only side effects have been acne and more frequent headaches around the time of my bleed within the first two months, but it’s gotten so much better. My periods are really light and painless. My mood is so much more stable, my anxiety has decreased, I feel a lot more full of life and energy! This pill is the one for me. Everyone’s body responds to these medications differently, so don’t let bad reviews scare you away from giving this pill a try. So far, it has worked wonderfully for me!"

"I started taking this birth control around a month and a half ago. I'm also in a relationship, and ever since I've started taking it, I have been almost constantly overthinking everything, having anxiety, being extremely sad and upset, and crying for no reason. This pill has also started to give me acne again. With all of these side effects (the mood swings being the WORST and most prevalent), I need to stop taking it. I am typically a very, very happy and outgoing girl, but ever since taking this, I have been a hormonal mess. I don't want this birth control to be the reason I am overly emotional with my boyfriend and constantly creating problems that aren't there. Would not recommend."

"I was put on this pill by my OB-GYN for my extremely painful and irregular periods and because I’m going off to college soon. This is the first time I’ve ever taken any form of birth control, so I didn’t really know what to expect. I took the pill for a little over a week and a half before stopping because I started feeling some extreme side effects. I was having severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts to the point where I had to be prescribed anti-anxiety meds to get me through the day. I couldn’t eat or sleep, and some days I couldn’t even pull myself out of bed. I ended up losing about 10-15 pounds. This was the scariest and darkest moment of my life, it felt like I would never get better. It took me months to actually feel like myself again. I definitely do not recommend this pill to anyone, there are better options out there for you."

"Love this pill. Boosted my sex drive, lightened periods, no breakthrough bleeding, no weight gain (I’ve actually lost weight), no anxiety/depression. It’s awesome. Slight side effect of breast tenderness - but this pill is the ONE for me."
