For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "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."

For Birth Control "I've been on Taytulla for 3 months now after my pharmacy told me Minastrin 24 is being discontinued. I had a smooth transition from Minastrin to Taytulla, meaning no breakthrough bleeding, but my actual periods have been a lot heavier and my cramps a lot worse on Taytulla. In addition, I've experienced periodic breast tenderness and am sometimes overly sensitive. I have also gained five pounds after starting this pill (105 lbs to 110 lbs). I'm sure no one else can notice the change in weight, but I certainly do when my shorts no longer fit me. I am going to give it one more month and then will consider switching to another generic of Minastrin."

For Birth Control "The most debilitating week of my life! Extreme fatigue, extreme nausea, leg cramps, breast tenderness, acne, mood swings, heart palpitations. I threw it out after 7 days. Please take caution when using this."

For Birth Control "Stay away! Save yourself. After taking this BC, I began to experience depression and anxiety, then I began to bleed for 10+ days. This then caused me to stress even more because bleeding for a month isn’t enjoyable, so my mood decreased even more. Due to this BC, I’ve had to be prescribed anxiety and depression meds and was referred to a counselor. I’d honestly rather be pregnant than deal with constant bleeding and mental health issues."

For Birth Control "I took Taytulla for about 2 months before I started to experience insane vaginal pains. Pains that felt like a UTI. I was 18 and felt like I had a UTI every single day. I was in constant pain and my sex drive completely ended due to not wanting to enhance the pain. After about 2 and a half months in, I stopped taking it. The pains lessened slightly but were still there. I've gone to countless doctors for these pains and I've had multiple different diagnoses. After consulting a urologist, she determined my digestive organs aren't working together. This is an effect of Taytulla that I live with every day. Now I have to take Flomax and a laxative every day just to have normal functioning organs and no pain. After doing my research, I believe it's because of such high dosages. Taytulla has completely ruined my body to the point where I can't function without pills. These side effects are still around after almost a year, and will be around likely for the rest of my life."

For Birth Control "I started taking it because I had ovarian cyst ruptures, and the pill stopped them. I got severely depressed and lost a majority of my hair. I made the decision to go off of it after a year and a half, and I definitely see results. My mood is fantastic, and my hair is growing back at a fast rate. Definitely want to warn people about the side effects of this pill."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Taytulla for about 8 months now, and let me tell you, it’s been a roller coaster ride. My original birth control I was on, I never had any side effects or anything wrong except for gaining a little bit of weight. The doctor switched my birth control to Taytulla, and it’s literally been the worst thing ever! I am a very happy person, and this pill made me extremely depressed, and also my anxiety went skyrocket and through the roof! I thought I was like this because I went through a breakup after 4 years, but no! After reading the reviews, it all makes sense. I am definitely stopping the pill and do NOT recommend Taytulla to anyone!"

For Birth Control "For the girls thinking about starting Taytulla and reading the reviews from people who stopped it too soon. (with reason, of course - health first) I stayed on it for my body to adjust and didn't stop a few weeks or months in because of side effects. Yes, you're going to get side effects, you're messing with your body's hormones, expect them. For the first few 2-3 months, I got headaches constantly, almost zero appetite, and my anxiety had hit panic levels, paranoia, and light mood swings, on the side of crying more. But after the side effects wore off, it's perfect. I never gained weight, (had acne as I did before) no cramping, light periods, I went up a cup size, and not pregnant. Personal warnings: I will warn about coffee and caffeine, one of the side effects is a type of sensory overload when mixed with caffeine. I switched to decaf as I drink coffee for taste. Read what interacts with Taytulla, types of teas, and detox. Side effects with medicine, vitamins, and herbal supplements."

For Birth Control "This is the worst birth control I have ever used. I used Taytulla for 5 months. At first, my skin cleared up, my periods were light, and my hormones were under control. Then I had migraines, constant headaches, nausea, and my hormones changed. I had really dark thoughts, depression, anxiety, and severe mood swings. Sex drive went way down. Then really painful sex. I did research on Taytulla and saw similar experiences. After 5 months of taking it, I stopped, and my symptoms improved days after stopping. Except painful sex. I went to my OB/GYN and was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus. This is an autoimmune disease that can be triggered later in life and can be triggered by high levels of hormones. There is no cure and only treatments that can be used to help reduce the pain while having sex. DO NOT USE Taytulla. Get your partner to use condoms. Women shouldn’t deal with this. My husband now wears condoms, and I will never use birth control ever again in my life."

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 "I am 39 years old and was put on Taytulla by my OB/GYN to regulate my cycle and stop breakthrough bleeding. I have had breakthrough bleeding for years with no answers. I've been taking Taytulla for 2 weeks now and stopped just two days ago because of unbearable lower abdomen cramping. The cramping and bleeding have been so severe that I can't even function with my regular day activities. I'm bleeding so severely with lots and lots of clots. I've never bled this much in my entire life where I'm having to change a pad every hour on the hour. Tampons can't even be used, I'm having to wear super huge pads for the heavy flow that feel like a diaper. I've developed acne in the past few days on my face. My mood has me down and depressed, and I just can't shake out of it. It's only been two days since I stopped Taytulla, and I have not noticed any change yet. I hope I start to feel better soon as this can't be life!"

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 "After being on Loestrin for 10 years, my OB switched me to Taytulla in July, and it’s now mid-October, and I have gained 20 pounds on a near-perfect diet, with weight lifting and cardio 5-6 days a week, with no changes to lifestyle except this awful pill. I’d rather have a period every 2 weeks than feel like this. Also, I have seen changes in my mood and acne, which I haven’t had since I took Accutane 6 years ago. 10 packs of Taytulla are now in the garbage where it belongs."

For Birth Control "I absolutely love this birth control! I haven’t had any problem with acne (but I never did before I was put on the pill), and no pregnancy scares at all! I’ve been taking this pill for about 2 years, so my body is definitely adjusted, but it took about 3-4 months before my body was fully adjusted!"

For Birth Control "I took this medicine a month ago because my doctor claimed it would help stop my bleeding because I have 9 fibroids. I was taking the Taytulla on top of getting the shot, and neither has worked. It has caused my body more harm. For the last few weeks, I have had the worst bloating, which has caused bad gas in my body, and my body has never been in this much pain. The hospitals aren't doing anything about it. I wouldn't recommend anyone take this due to all this gas buildup and bloating. I'm also experiencing unbearable pain, I can barely walk, eat, sleep-like, this is horrible!!"

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 "I usually don't write reviews for things, I just read them most of the time. But I felt that I should leave a comment after seeing how most of the other reviews were negative. I've been taking Taytulla for 4 going on 5 years now! I've never had issues, really, other than usually around the middle of my cycle I will bleed a little bit for a day. Other than that, this birth control has been great! I never experienced sickness, and I never lost/gained a ton of weight. I overall think this birth control is great, especially for women who have low hormone levels and need a boost to get them back where they need to be."

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 "My side effects on Taytulla are depression, uncontrollable emotional swings, irritable, weight gain, random periods, headaches, appetite change, cramps, weird discharge, and fatigue. My insurance covered most of the prescription. It still came out to $60 a month. This drug is not worth the money or your time."

For Birth Control "I know this birth control has had some rocky reviews, but I swear when I say it changed my life. After being on birth control for four years, I started having a period that wouldn't stop. I underwent exploratory surgery, tried many different birth controls, and nothing was helping or giving us answers as to why. I have severe ovarian cysts that start forming immediately if I am not on birth control, so I have a choice of finding a birth control that works or being in and out of the hospital in severe pain and rupturing cysts. Finally, my gynecologist suggested Taytulla. I was skeptical because after trying five different birth controls, I was losing hope. Two days after starting Taytulla, my constant bleeding stopped."

For Birth Control "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."

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!"
