Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel for Birth Control "I started taking Cryselle because the higher dose pills, like Tri-Sprintec, made me throw up. At first, Cryselle made all the nausea go away, and I lost weight. After about a week, I started having pretty severe mood swings and started getting the worst acne I've ever had. I got huge pimples all over my face... the long-lasting, painful ones. It was not a great experience."

Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel "The doctor prescribed me this last week because my hormones were everywhere. Therefore, I had my period most of the time and a lot of acne as a result of taking this. The nausea every day has gotten worse. It has helped me a lot with my acne, I won't lie, but trust me, the feeling of wanting to throw up every day made me want to just quit."

Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel for Birth Control "This pill makes me taste and smell this nasty sour milk taste all the time. I cannot get rid of it, it makes me so nauseous that the thought of taking it nauseates me already. I get so sick off of it, been on it for over two years, and symptoms of nausea never subsided. It has also completely taken away my sex drive. The only reason I know this is because once my ex and I broke up, I got off of it for four months, and I was super horny, so uncontrollably horny, I wanted sex at all hours. But upon going back on it, I have zero desire for it. I've missed many days on this pill because I would rather just not take it, that's how gross it is and sick it makes me feel, which obviously reduces its effects. If you can get another, please do."

Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel for Endometriosis "My body does not react very well to hormones. I spent just over a week on this medication and experienced vomiting every single day. My physician mentioned that nausea was normal, so I assumed this was typical, as my stomach is generally a little more sensitive than most, anyway. Besides, it wasn't too bad - just once in the morning. Once my body had woken up, I was just fine. However, the last few days I was on the medication, the adverse reactions increased. Vomiting increased to several times throughout the day, nausea increased from the first few hours of the day to the entire time I was awake, and I had several fainting spells accompanied by severe twitching (luckily my doctor ruled out seizures). Scary!"

Ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel for Birth Control "I switched to this because it is the highest dosage after experiencing breakthrough bleeding on my last pill, which I was also on for two years. All breakthrough bleeding has stopped, and my period has even shortened from 7 days on my old pill to 5 days on this one. I experienced some nausea in the mornings the first day or two of each new pill pack the first couple of months, but this only lasted maybe 3-4 months, and I have experienced this symptom every time I try a new birth control, so I do not know if it is specific to this pill. I also gained about 10 lbs the first couple of months that shed a few months later, but this is also a typical symptom I have experienced on every pill I have tried. Overall, this pill works and has no serious symptoms."
