For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for roughly 6-7 months now, and at first, everything was going great. The past month or so, however, I've had the most horrible anxiety, panic attacks, and irritability ever. Even more recently, I've had nausea to the point where I'm throwing up periodically through the night. My anxiety was so bad, I was having so many negative thoughts and didn't have the motivation to do much anymore. I couldn't come up with any other explanation until I thought about my birth control. I'm stopping immediately and will be seeing my doctor soon to switch pills, hopefully!"

For Birth Control "I am on day 3 of this pill, and I felt awful the whole time. I constantly feel like I'm going to throw up after I take it, which makes it difficult for me to sleep. I already have some anxiety, but this birth control is making it to where I can't sleep, and once I do sleep, I can't stay asleep. I just lay in bed feeling hot, nauseous, and like I'm going to die. My anxiety is just getting so bad I will probably stop taking this medication."

For Birth Control "I have been taking this birth control for about 9 months. In the spring, I started back on this birth control after taking a break for a while. In May, I started having migraines. Previously, I had random headaches, but they were nothing Excedrin couldn't handle. After getting back on this BC, I had migraines the week of my cycle. I had extreme migraines to the point where I had to go to the doctor and get a shot. I was given a prescription (pills and shots I could give myself). My prescription ran out, and I waited a couple of months until I could return to my permanent home and go to the gyno. While I was off this medicine-no migraines. Just started back a few days ago and I'm nauseous, experiencing headaches, and emotional again."

For Birth Control "This medication is hell in a pack. I urge everyone to PLEASE do not take this. I ended up with severe depression and anxiety all over again, the nausea and vomiting was ridiculous and the yeast infections—my god. I had a yeast infection probably the whole time on this pill. I vomited so much from these pills that I lost 12 pounds in about 2 weeks one time. The mood swings were so sad also. I didn’t realize this was all from the pill until my doc switched me to Tri-Sprintec for insurance reasons. Please don’t take this!!!!! It’s horrible on your body!!!! The only good thing was that I had absolutely no acne!"

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for about 3 months, no pregnancy scares, and helps with my period a little bit, but it usually makes me feel nauseous after I take it, and I have been breaking out more."

For Birth Control "I never had a problem with birth control until I switched from the brand Ortho-Tricyclen to Tri-Previfem. It was okay for the first month of use, but after that, I found that this medication caused me to have heightened anxiety, loss of appetite, and even nausea. Bottom line: I'm switching back to what I was on before because of these side effects!"

For Birth Control "Been on this BC for a year and a half. This was the first BC I've ever taken. I'm 22, and it works really well for me. I never had a regular period, and this gave me a period the first week of every month, like clockwork. No nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or mood swings. No pregnancy scare ever (I take it at the same time every day). The only thing is I've gained about 10 pounds within this last year, but not sure if it's because of BC."

For Birth Control "At first, I didn't have any problems with this. No nausea, no weight gain, there wasn't really a change in the amount of acne I had. I was told it would help reduce cramps and the amount of blood during my period, but it actually did the exact opposite. Cramps were horrible, my stomach was quite swollen, and the length of my period was increased and the blood flow was horribly heavy. I was told it could happen on occasion, but it was rare, so it's a bit unfortunate I had that reaction to it. At least it prevented pregnancy."

For Acne "I am 16 years old and started this birth control a month ago. Got pretty bad nausea and headaches the first couple weeks, but it went away. I don't take the placebo pills for my period week because they make my period worse, and going off the placebo seems to help. I started my second pack yesterday and took a double dose because I skipped a day. Woke up this morning, vomited profusely all day. If it gets worse, I'm going to the hospital."

For Birth Control "It definitely works. I've been on it for six months and have not become pregnant. There was slight nausea and some change in irritability, but I am overall happy with it. My skin is also flawless!"

For Birth Control "I was nauseous after taking it in my second week, so I discontinued it. My breast was so sore."
