"Took this pill for one week. I was so nauseated, dizzy, and had a headache I couldn't get out of the house or even look at food. I have been on several other pills before, and none have affected me this badly."

"This is my first time taking birth control, and I was a bit scared because looking at the reviews for Mononessa, a lot of people said it caused them unpleasing side effects. My doctor originally prescribed me something else, it's like 'Tri-Ortho' something like that, and the pharmacist gave me the generic version, Mononessa. I have been on it for 7 whole days, and the only side effect I have is on the first day I felt a tad bit nauseous, but that is all. No major mood swings, headaches, or vomiting like I've seen a lot of people write, but everyone is different. My experience has been good so far. Hopefully, it will stay like this. I am prone to feeling side effects to medication, and I am honestly surprised I didn't get any severe ones... yet."

"This medicine is the only one that I have used that actually keeps my endometriosis from coming back. I have tried many birth controls, and this one works for me."

"I have been on Mononessa for about 18 months. I have put on 20 pounds. I have tried to lose the weight while on the meds, but I lost 10 pounds and plateaued. I am so done. I just turned 40 and have decided to go with a no-hormone permanent solution!"
