"I started this pill when I first had my son. It was great at first, and I experienced zero side effects. Then everything hit at once. My periods are almost constant, I've gained a crazy amount of weight even though I do heavy cardio four times a week and eat a healthy, vegan diet. I really liked this pill, but it's inconvenient for long-term use. I really can't wait to discontinue using it."

"Haven't been on a pill in 8 years... Since I started it 5 weeks ago, I've gotten acne, stomach pains, cramps, but most of all, I am angry, sad, all symptoms of PPD. I have a history of depression, and that makes it highly common to experience signs of PPD, as on the side effects list of Nora-Be. I will never take this again, I have a cloud over my brain. I yell at my children, angry at my husband for having the freedom to leave without 2 kids, anxiety, paranoid. My family doesn't deserve it, and I don't deserve to feel this way just to prevent a 3rd child."

"I've only been on this for a few weeks, and I don't like it! I've never had the cramps as I do with this and never had cramping with my combination birth control. It's made me feel angry at times to the point I did get very angry on the phone with a person about changing pharmacies, and I've never done that. It's like you don't know when you're going to have your cycle, and once you do, it comes whenever, and it doesn't want to stop. I've got to get off this! Going to tell my doctor on Tuesday to put me back on what I was on previously."

"I began taking this BC pill because I was breastfeeding. I am no longer breastfeeding. While on Nora-Be, I had a lot of painful acne and breakthrough bleeding. I had to wear a pad every day and especially after intercourse. On a good note, it definitely prevented pregnancy."

"I was on this birth control to help my heavy cramps and bleeding on my period. I bled every single day for months, so I had to use a liner every day. It didn’t do anything for my acne, I lost my appetite and lost weight when I didn’t want to. Now I have my period three times a month, and it’s just as painful every time. I’ve been on the pill for almost 11 months."

"At first, it was the best. Then, having taken it again after a while of not being on it, the side effects were more visible. I began to break out more, weight gain very quickly, and always bloated. Bleeding has been such a nuisance."

"I have been using Nora-Be since I was 15. I am now 20 years old and have had nothing but a positive experience. I honestly don't notice any changes at all to my mood, weight, or anything. It has helped clear up my skin and my cramps, which is the reason why I was put on the medication. I have only ever used this birth control, and I do not plan on ever switching over!"

"I’ve been on Nora-Be now for 2 years, and it’s worked good, but it gave me most of the side effects: blurred vision, breast pain, changes in menstrual period, chills, dark urine, decreased vision, diarrhea, difficulty with swallowing, discouragement, dizziness, double vision, feeling sad or empty, general tiredness and weakness, headache, heavy non-menstrual vaginal bleeding, hives, light vaginal bleeding between regular menstrual periods, loss of interest or pleasure, migraine headache, nausea, and vomiting. It really makes me feel sad all the time, even in the happiest times, I can’t feel happy anymore."

"I was put on Nora-Be because I was having ocular migraines and have symptoms of Raynaud's phenomenon, apparently, these are contraindications for the combo BC pill. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few issues on the Nora-Be. First, mood lability, and as another writer posted, my fiancé."

"I'm a 16-year-old girl who uses birth control for maintaining clear skin due to acne, nausea in the morning, and a heavy flow. I've tried many different kinds of pills, and this one was by far the worst. I typically don't have too much acne (about 3 pimples per month, if that). However, when I started this pill, I broke out all over my face. I have NEVER had this much acne before. I just picked up a new birth control today, so hopefully when I start using this one, the remaining acne on my face will go away. It's ridiculous."

"I'm on day 4 of Nora-Be. I started the first day of my period. I am very sensitive to all medicines. I thought this would be a good option since combination pills made my hair fall out. Day 4 and I've noticed reoccurring headaches. I know it's a side effect listed. Birth control makes me cry. It's 2018, why haven't we found a more natural form? The Copper IUD was horrible as well, I don't recommend it at all. I thought it was 'natural,' but it's not. Other than Nora-Be, I like it, but the headaches suck. Maybe I just need to exercise."

"I've been on this medicine for 2 weeks now. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I did bloat a lot more than usual during my period. I also have little headaches almost every day, but they only last for 10 minutes at most. I've managed to eat a pint of ice cream every single night and still lose weight. The only downfall of this medicine is it makes me very angry."

"Hated every minute of this birth control. Stopped after 3 months, constant period and bought tampons every week! Totally not worth it."

"Awful!!! Worst acne of my life, heavy periods, weight gain, and discharge. Been taking for 3 months and stopped now for a week, face is finally clearing up. Won't take it again."

"I am four days in, and I have experienced a slight fever and intense headache. We will see if it gets better the more I use it, but that’s just what I’m experiencing in my first week."
