"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 was the worst I have ever been on. It was the first one I ever tried and made me gain 25 pounds in about 2 months. It was horrible, and I still haven't been able to lose the weight. I do not recommend whatsoever."

"I took Taytulla for two months and had to stop due to side effects. My blood pressure was high, about 178/114, and my pulse was about 120 to 130. I started developing chest pains and shortness of breath and had to go to the emergency room. I had to wear a holter monitor for three days to record my heart activity. I also developed insomnia and anxiety and had to take anti-anxiety medication."

"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."

"So I've been on Taytulla for over a month now. I love this birth control! But I must say that when I started out, I had extreme fatigue and weakness, my body felt so little. But after that, I was back to my normal self, unlike some other forms such as Nexplanon where you bleed for a long time. I was going to go on Nexplanon, but I just couldn't do it, worrying about all the really bad reviews, so I stuck with Taytulla, and it is amazing! I just gotta keep reminding myself to take it every day and not forget. Overall, I would recommend this!"

"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."

"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!"

"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 was taking Marlissa birth control pill for 4 years before it started giving me headaches. My doctor prescribed me this instead. It’s been almost a year, and my cramps came back worse than ever before. I’ve been having tons of anxiety, which I now know is a side effect after reading these reviews. I’ve been spotting with cramps in between periods, bad enough to bleed through my underwear during a workout. I asked to go back on my old pill."

"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."

"After years of Mirena, I switched to this pill. I had been on the pill when I was younger and had mild side effects initially, but this pill is the worst. I've been taking it for almost 2 months and have missed 3 days of work from being so sick. I've actually lost weight from the constant nauseousness and occasional vomiting. Also, headaches, boobs hurt, mood swings, no energy, little sex drive. I finally called my doctor and we're switching to another pill. Based on other reviews, it sounds like my experience is not uncommon. My boyfriend finally convinced me to get off this pill and said he just wants his girlfriend back."

"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."
