For Birth Control "Do not recommend this birth control, Elinest, it made me severely depressed to the point I had to receive help. I also had hot flashes, spotting, migraines, mood swings, acne, water retention, and nausea. I was only on it for 4 months, but that was enough time for me to completely lose myself. I hope this helps someone else going through the same roller coaster."

For Birth Control "I love this birth control. I'm paralyzed from the waist down. I have decreased sensation, but I was getting horrible, horrible cramps before this medication. I take it straight with no placebos and let myself have a period every 3 to 4 months. This pill was an absolute lifesaver. No mood swings or acne, just positive results. My cramps have been gone since I started taking it. 10 out of 10 for me."

For Birth Control "So, I’ve been taking Elinest for about 4 months now, and I’ve been bleeding and/or spotting almost continuously. I guess it’s helped somewhat with my moods, but the bleeding is just not worth it at all. I’ve also been breaking out a lot on my face and neck, which I really didn't need. I don’t recommend it at all."

For Birth Control "I was on Cryselle-28 for a long time until my pharmacy decided to change it to Elinest. I immediately started getting horrible hormonal acne all on my jawline, realized my birth control was switched to this generic brand, and made my pharmacy switch back. Will never be on any other birth control again."

For Birth Control "This is horrible. I broke out so bad, and I had pimples for MONTHS. Then it left me with such bad acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The only reason I got on this pill was to clear my acne, and it backfired on me so bad. On top of that, my feelings were always low, and I always felt sad. 0/10. This is the worst birth control."
