For Birth Control "I am currently almost through my second pack of Taytulla. The first pack was a nightmare. I bled heavily for more than half of the month. The cramping was awful, and I became extremely depressed. I was told to stay on the pill another month until my hormones balanced out. While the bleeding stopped, my mood is very low, and my anxiety is very high. I also have gained 4 1/2 pounds. My breasts are extremely tender, and I have developed nightly migraines. This will be my last pack of these pills."

For Birth Control "So far, this pill is horrible! I am finishing up month 2, and I am miserable. I have taken two of the previous versions, Generess FE and Minastrin FE, which were amazing. I had no period, no pain, and felt great. Since the company switched to the gel cap, I have bloated, cramping, and headaches for the whole two months. My period is back too, which is heavy and painful, and the original reason I started a pill. I've been back to my OBGYN to try and get off it. She talked me into trying it another two months. We'll see if I can handle this for two more months."

For Birth Control "This is the first birth control I’ve been on, and from the first 2 pills I took, I knew that this wasn’t going to work out for me, but I continued for 2 packs. Yes, it did help my bloating, but my periods were still painful, my once clear skin broke out like never before, my anxiety skyrocketed, and I got several anxiety attacks throughout my use of this pill. I went through two packs but I knew I had to stop. I have now switched to Gianvi for help with the acne, which this pill gave me. I would NOT recommend this to anybody."

For Birth Control "Doc prescribed Taytulla to help regulate my premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). After being on medicine for 11 days, after having very regular periods for years and only spotting 2-3 times in my entire life. I had breakthrough bleeding after having my period a week and a half before. I had PMS food cravings, headache, cramps, and mood swings with uncontrollable crying that were off the charts and worse than my 'normal PMS' symptoms. In addition to the very depressing erratic mood swings, it exacerbated nerve issues in my spine, created burning down my legs, extreme back pain, which had been under control and feeling great for months, until I began taking medicine. This medicine is awful. Do not take if you have any form of mild depression. It also turned my urine brown. Lovely."

"Used Taytulla for 1 ½ months, and it caused a very long, heavy period that lasted 25 days with intense cramps. I did not have a pleasant experience and switched to another brand."

For Birth Control "I've only been on this birth control for 2 weeks, and I am an emotional wreck! I'm tired all the time and becoming very depressed. I have never suffered from depression until this pill. I'm going to finish the pack, and if it does not get better, I will be calling my doctor. I also have been spotting the last 3 days and having pretty bad cramps."
