For Birth Control "I'd been on the Nor-QD pill for many years without a problem. This year my insurance changed, and the pharmacy issued Sharobel in its place. I thought it'd be fine since it has the exact same amount of NORETHINDRONE. Wow, was I wrong! Luckily, I only got a three-month supply because I am quitting this pill. In two and a half months on this pill, I've had a period or bleeding every 5-7 days. It's not just bleeding; I get the whole deal: cramps, lower back pain, hunger cravings, crankiness, and bloating. My skin has broken out, I've been super irritable/moody, and I don't understand how the side effects can be so extreme for me when I previously was on Nor-QD for so long and experienced none of these things."

For Birth Control "I was on the Patch for 2 years and had almost no side effects, besides slight weight gain. I had no acne, cramping, mood swings, etc. My periods were super light and only lasted 3-4 days and were extremely regular. I had to switch though, because it didn't stick on very well. I can't take estrogen due to a certain kind of migraines, so my doctor prescribed Sharobel. I was fine the first week or two, no real side effects except that my boobs got huge. But ever since then, I have been bleeding heavily like every other week. I'm moody and breaking out, and the cramps are awful. I've been on it since January, and it has only gotten worse. Hoping that people are right and that my hormones level out and adjust to not having estrogen in another month or two..."

For Birth Control "Honestly, I was a little skeptical due to the reviews because then I was like, “great, another terrible experience on birth control,” and so far, it has been good! I think with me already having issues with my mental health and combination pills causing high blood pressure, this one really helped as far as very little to no side effect symptoms. I’m really moody sometimes, and my sex drive is through the roof, but other than that, I think it’s good so far."
