For Birth Control "I've just started my third month of this pill, and it has been a complete disaster. This is also my first time taking birth control. A couple of weeks ago, I thought about trying something different since it has been making me cry about every little stress in life and has also made me anxious about everything. I'm in my first semester of college, and this pill has not made it easier. I am currently dealing with some relationship problems, but I would never typically feel this depressed about anything. I'm so much happier than this. The only good thing I've experienced with this pill is the barely there period. This pill is destroying my happiness and ruining me as a person. Due to all of the anxiety and depression, I haven't been eating as much as I should, so I've lost weight. I would not recommend this pill to anyone."

For Birth Control "Everything started off great, and now it’s like boom, depression. Bloating. No period, which is causing my body to react in all these crazy ways. Crying, can’t sleep because my anxiety is so high because of it. Not working for me."

For Birth Control "Taytulla is the first BC pill I’ve been on, and I’ve had a generally positive experience (currently 6 months). Lost weight after starting it. Light or no periods. Be aware: 1st month, bled for about 10 days, but that is normal for starting BC. Didn’t happen again. Experienced heightened anxiety during months 2-4, but situations in my life were actually stressful, so though I think Taytulla increased the anxiety I would’ve normally felt in that situation, I don’t think it caused it, and it went away when my problems did."

For Birth Control "This birth control worked well for controlling my period, but my emotional state was in absolute shambles. For 8+ months, I had horrible anxiety and would cry about almost everything, which I blamed on myself just being an emotional person. After not taking the pills for a few weeks, I feel like a whole new person, and I am not nearly as emotional or sad all the time. Would not recommend."

For Birth Control "This is the 4th birth control I've tried. I get terrible cramps, vomit, headaches, etc. while on my period, and while other pills have alleviated those issues, they had their own side effects (moodiness, anxiety, weight gain, etc.). I got an IUD 8 months ago and cramped every day, PLUS I got terrible cystic acne, so I got that out. I got put on Taytulla immediately after getting my IUD removed. I was super skeptical from all of the bad reviews, but this pill is AWESOME. No change in mood, I've definitely had an increased appetite, but no weight gain, no change in drive, no headaches, no cramps, it cleared my acne, and my breasts went up 1/2 a cup size. Only cons: noticeable breast tenderness, and I have not had a period since taking it. (My gyno said this was normal, and I am not pregnant.) All in all, super happy."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "I started taking Taytulla 2 weeks ago to help prevent more ovarian cysts from popping up. There is not one thing I've liked about this pill. I get terrible headaches and nausea almost constantly, I've broken out in acne all over my face. I have been suffering with terrible depression, anxiety, lack of interest in anything, and fatigue. I forgot to take it one night, and the next morning I woke up with super heavy bleeding. I know the body will react when starting any new medicine, but this is miserable. Would not recommend, ladies!"

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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!"

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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!"

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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!"

For Birth Control "I was prescribed Taytulla by my doctor to see if it would help with my seizures (which are hormone-based). I took this pill for two weeks and a day. I had a seizure, nausea and vomiting, bloatedness, horrible anxiety, and blurred vision. I still am suffering from the anxiety and blurred vision, but I know it will take time for this to get out of my system. I felt crazy on this pill. Never again will I take something like Taytulla."

For Birth Control "I’ll start off by saying this pill gave me all the side effects, but at least I didn't get pregnant, which was the point. I’ve gained 17 pounds of weight in the 8 months I’ve been on it. I'm ALWAYS bloated, my anxiety is on 1000, and it’s hard for me to do simple tasks without being overwhelmed by my emotions. Other than the weight gain, anxiety, and extreme mood swings, the pill did what it was supposed to do. Every body reacts differently."

For Birth Control "I was on Lo Loestrin and became dangerously depressed, angry, and began having horrible anxiety. My doc took me off and put me on Taytulla, which has been the best pill I've been on. My periods are super light, my skin is clear even right before my period, and no weight gain. MOSTLY, I don't feel the rage I was feeling on Lo Lo."

For Birth Control "I didn’t experience one good thing with this medicine. I have never had a problem with acne until I started this pill. It was uncontrollable. I gained 11 pounds in 3 months, even with being extra cautious with what I was eating. I slowly started slipping into depression and having really bad anxiety attacks. I was extremely nauseated at the beginning. My heart rate was always extremely fast. I cried ALL the time. There is not a single good thing about this pill!"

For Birth Control "This is the first birth control I’ve been on, and it is HORRIBLE. Would never recommend to anyone for any reason. My anxiety is at an all-time high, and my migraines are worse. I’ve also become more depressed by the day. Awful, awful mood swings. Totally not worth it. Don’t try it!!"

For Birth Control "It does its sole purpose of preventing pregnancy, and it cleared up my moderate acne. However, my sex drive completely went away, and I experienced a significant amount of anxiety to the point of having to leave classes halfway through. I will be switching to a new pill."

For Birth Control "I made it one month on this. I had been on a different birth control, but my OBGYN switched me to this one. I am normally a very unemotional person, but this made me anxious constantly and depressed all in one. My blood pressure also skyrocketed, and I normally have very low BP. I kept trying to mind over matter, but I couldn't do it anymore. It was worse than being on nothing, and that's REALLY saying something."
