"I’ve had my fair share of experiences with birth control, from the migraines every day to bleeding for weeks at a time to anxiety to depression. Taytulla was my last try at it, and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised. I was on a generic of the same dosage and had a list of issues, none of which I have now with this birth control! On Taytulla, I have no anxiety, no migraines, no depression. I had mild spotting getting used to it, but now everything is fine, my horrible periods are now only about 4 days. I will say that cramping is still really bad, but way lighter! I love this birth control-life saver!"

"This birth control worked amazingly well, until about 6 months in. I experienced a substantial worsening of my anxiety symptoms at about that time. Since doctors always say that anxiety side effects will peak at the beginning and then go away, it took me months to realize that the birth control might be causing it. And what do you know, one month off of this drug and I am feeling way better, almost back to normal. I can actually talk to strangers without wanting to launch myself into the sun. Just be careful if you take this drug, the side effects can come later."

"I just finished my fourth pack. I am pleased with the product, and like most, was nervous because of the reviews. The first month was mood swing after mood swing and some nausea, but after that hump I’ve been smooth sailing. I have bleeding for 2-3 days, which is nice compared to the long 7 days without it and the normal period before and during symptoms. The only thing that hurts is the price. My insurance covers about 75%, so it’s still pretty expensive. I have had no weight gain or crazy acne. I will take this pill as long as I can afford it."

"I have been taking this medication since October (now it is early January), and since October, I have been depressed and have anxiety and panic attacks. Then the light bulb turned on in my head that this all started since I started this birth control and did not realize it till my mom told me. I have been off it for a few days, and so far, so good."

"This pill was nightmarish. My doctor recommended it to me, and it made me a crazy person. Panic attacks daily, self-harm, depression, dark thoughts. I’ve never been like that, and I haven’t been like that since I got off. It seems like other people had similar experiences. Onto the next pill, I suppose."

"I had been taking Taytulla for almost 2 years. Since previous birth control had given me lots of stomach problems, Taytulla seemed to lessen them, although they were still there. I take Taytulla consistently so I do not get a period, this was recommended by my doctor and is completely safe. However, within the past 6 months, my sex drive has not only been low, but I have experienced extreme pain with sex. Come to find out, the pill was not fully stopping my periods correctly and actually caused me to grow a few cysts that have had complications. Ever since discovering this and really looking into the past few months, I have realized the pill has done nothing but make my life miserable. I have lost hair, had 13-day long breakthrough bleeding, and my depression and anxiety have been the worst it has ever been. Each pill has different effects for everyone, but this was my experience, and after the recent recall of this product, I do not feel it has worked properly."

"So, I started Taytulla, and at first I was skeptical. I was so scared from the reviews, but I have to say (even though I've been on it for a little over a week) that this pill has so far been pretty good. I do have some stomach pain at certain times that is a little weird, but I can handle that. I do not really have nausea, and my anxiety has actually been better, I also sleep better. However, I must say, and this is in no way a bad thing, my sex drive has been through the roof. But I have also noticed that I have been hungrier. Food tastes even better than usual, but I can control myself with that. I have a little bit of a headache sometimes, but not very often, and they aren't bad headaches either. So far, I really like this birth control! I would definitely recommend!"

"Been on this birth control for about five months. Although the pill completely stopped my periods, I’ve had uncontrollable mood swings, many panic attacks, paranoia, and signs of depression. Also worsened my cramping and made me lose 10 lbs (which I have issues with gaining weight). Thinking about stopping the pill completely to see if I’ll go back to being myself. DO NOT take this pill if you have an issue with anxiety or depression!!"

"I've been taking this pill for almost 3 years now, and I'm quite happy with it. Overall, the results have been great. My adult acne is gone. I don't suffer heavy periods where I have to sleep with a towel under me at night. I don't have to skip work because my period cramps are so painful. The horrible PMS irritability has subsided for the most part. As for the side effects: - Gained around 10 lbs initially (which I've since lost) - My boobs have gotten slightly bigger (a plus for me!) - My hair isn't as curly as it used to be. I've heard this can happen during pregnancy, so that would make sense that it happens with birth control since it tricks your body into thinking you're pregnant - Lower sex drive - No periods - seems a bit unnatural, but I'm not complaining. Up to the first year, I did feel a little wonky and emotional at times. I'm not sure if this is the birth control to blame, but I do think it's leveled out. Happy to be on this stuff and baby-free!"

"This birth control caused sharp, excruciating pain in my lower abdomen in the beginning, and I could barely walk without feeling like someone was stabbing my insides. Hopefully, it goes away soon, though."

"Although I did experience some rough spots during the first 3 months (some bleeding, anxiety, and paranoia, etc.), it’s actually leveled itself out completely! I’ve been on it for about 6 months now, and it feels like I’m not even taking a birth control pill, which is great! Light periods, little to no cramping, no babies. It worked well for me!"

"TAKE CAUTION. My 18-year-old daughter was prescribed Taytulla three weeks ago. She checked herself into a psych ward today. She never had signs of depression. I am convinced it is this drug. She won't be taking the medication tonight; we will see how she feels tomorrow. This drug has been on the market for less than 2 years. Never again.

"Although Taytulla worked in preventing pregnancy, I've been miserable the past two months. Starting with nausea and sharp pains in my stomach, exhaustion, and no appetite, to wanting to eat everything in sight. Then, missing my period for the second round of pills and feeling a false sense of pregnancy, so took two tests, both negative. I don't recommend this pill to anyone with anxiety or depression. Feelings of sickness heightened both."

"I've been taking Taytulla for 4 months now, and from day one it has been great for me. I never had any nausea, but I did notice that I was a little more emotional than usual during the first week or two that I started taking it, but after that everything was perfectly fine. My breasts did increase in size, and my period got much lighter to where I would only spot for one day. Now, I do not have a period at all, which I love. In my opinion, this is a great birth control, and I've recommended it to multiple people who ended up loving it as well. It is all based on your body and how it reacts with the medication. I'm thankful it worked out great for me!"

"I switched to Taytulla birth control at the end of December. I had always had my period on time. I took it for a month and was very nauseous and crampy the entire time. It got rid of my period completely and made me very paranoid. I also blacked out one morning because my blood pressure dropped from this pill. I do not recommend."

"I’ve been on this birth control for a month this week, and I thought I liked it up until these last few days. I’ve noticed a lot of mood swings, increased anxiety, and this little part of me wants to say depression, but I’m not sure if my increased anxiety is making it worse for me. Enough for me to bring it up to my primary care doctor. For the past few days, I’ve been having anxiety about having depression, as if I’m scared to become depressed, and I don’t like it AT ALL. I originally started this birth control because I’ve had irregular periods since I had my baby a year and a half ago, but unfortunately it’s a huge no for me."

"I got one Depo shot, and it made me bleed for over a year. Also made my periods 20 days long when I finally started having them again, and they were just all out of whack. My doctor prescribed me this to see if it helped, and it helped so much. But honestly, it’s not even worth it for how it makes you feel. My depression is awful, and I honestly just don’t even feel like myself anymore. My fiancé even tells me I “changed.” I’m gonna stop taking it. I can’t take feeling like this anymore."

"This is the only BC I’ve ever been on, so I don’t really have anything to compare it to, but overall I’ve had a great experience! I used to have unbearably painful cramps and a super heavy flow when I got my periods, and Taytulla has completely eliminated that for me. It’ll make me a bit nauseous for a day or two, but it’s honestly a fair trade-off considering how terrible my periods were. I only get one for like 1-2 days now, and my acne has also cleared up. I’m a runner and have had my fastest season to date while on this BC, so yes. It’s been good."

"I hated my experience with Taytulla. Two weeks into starting the pills, I was hit with severe depression and anxiety. I gained about 15 lbs, and my face exploded with acne. I have previously never struggled with any of this on other forms of birth control and was shocked when it happened. I have since dropped the medication and feel like my old self again. Be cautious when taking this. It works, but the side effects made it not worth it."

"I have tried every form of birth control, with the exception of an IUD, and I find this pill to be the most successful one by far. It took my body just two months to properly adjust to the timing of the active pills. I've been on this now going on 5 months, and I couldn't be happier. My period lasts between 2-4 days, my cramps are very light. I do not get any negative side effects like some people have mentioned, I get less acne during my ovulation period, and my headaches have gone away. My bf and I have unprotected sex around 3 times a day, and so far, so good! I can't say that everyone will benefit the same as I have, but if there were a BC that I could recommend to anyone, it would be this one."

"This medication changed me inside and out. I experienced nausea, bleeding, acne, anxiety, depression, irritability, loss of focus, and felt like I was losing it. The chemical hormonal imbalance changed my demeanor completely. I began to have panic attacks and called my doctor. I had a consult, and the prescription was changed right away. I would not recommend this drug to anyone due to the side effects that I personally experienced, as I would not want another to endure the same. One month was enough, I began to mellow out but decided against staying on it due to the severity of the side effects. It took another two weeks to feel normal again."

"This Taytulla pill was awful for me! I have never had anxiety before, and this pill made it happen. I would literally have anxiety when I was talking to my friends. It also dried out my lips. I had dry, flaky skin on and around my lips. I would never recommend this to anyone!"

"I took this pill for approximately 5 days, and I completely broke out into acne all over my body: face, chest, back, and arms... and I've never had acne in my life. I feel like I am a 13-year-old child going through puberty when I am 26! I never had any issues on Minastrin and was put on Taytulla because Minastrin became very expensive. I got horrible fatigue, neck pain, and acne from this medication. Needless to say, I will never be taking it AGAIN."

"I have been on this pill for about three months now. It's my first type of birth control I've ever taken, so I have nothing to compare it to. The first two months, symptom-wise, were horrid. I got extreme mood swings, horrid acne (my skin has always been clear), weight gain, and tender breasts. After the two months, however, the symptoms went completely away. I did have irregular periods before, but now they come at the exact time thanks to this pill. That's why I gave it 5 stars."

"I got put on Taytulla because my body is sensitive to hormones. I’ve always had problems being on birth control with bad mood swings and depression. My doctor recommended this to me because it’s a low dose. I’m on my 3rd pack right now. The first month I broke out on my face really bad, but it cleared up on the second pack! It completely stopped my period, I have no PMS symptoms at all! I take my pill every day at the same time. I took a test just to make sure I’m not pregnant! I did gain a few pounds, nothing too major. Other than that, I love this birth control!"
