For Birth Control "My doctor prescribed this birth control to help regulate my periods. I started taking this pill on the last day of my period (day7). The first few days were fine. But on days 5 and 6, I bled heavily and had cramps like a normal period. After that, I spotted every day with cramps and backache. But the worst part is the mood swings and fatigue! I can go from happy and relaxed one minute to angry/irritated/anxious/sad/depressed the next. I just sit and cry. My poor husband gets the brunt of it, but he’s so sweet and understanding, which makes me cry even more. And I feel overwhelmingly tired to the point where my brain is constantly cloudy. My doctor said to give it more time, but I don’t know how much longer I can take take this and subject my husband to the mood swings."

For Birth Control "So my OB just started me on this medication because I have ovarian cysts.!! I’ve had brith control in the past and I’ve never felt any side affects, unlike Nortrel I’ve had the WORST nausea ever.!! Keep in mind I’m on my first week on this medication I couldn’t find the reason of what was causing the nausea until I looked up the medication and BAMB.!!! Sure enough it’s this damn medication that it’s making me feel this way. I already suffer from anxiety / depression as it is but with this medication it’s 10x worse. Low sex drive I cannot wait until my doctors office open so I can call and let them know hopefully they will change it.!! OVER ALL SUCH A HORRIBLE MEDICATION.!!! Do not take if you are very sensitive.!!"

For Birth Control "Was on Necon 1/35 for YEARS and NEVER had a problem. Then I moved to a new state at the end of 2017 and Walgreens didn't carry that dosage, they never heard of that dosage... (mind blown)... they gave me nortrel 1/35 and said it was the same thing. I had mood swings and crying episodes, severe anxiety and NOW my son will be 4 year old in a couple months here, yep, that's right! About one month after taking Nortrel 1/35 I got pregnant and didn't find out until the 3rd month in of taking that pill! Nortrel did NOT work for ANYTHING! We were lied to y'all! Also! For everyone here... I heard Pirmella is the generic for Necon and the generic can still be distributed?! Talk with your local pharmacy/dr to see if that would be the case for you as I have not done much research in this yet!"

For Birth Control "It was an awful experience, mood swings weight gain and I had cystic acne which developed with in the first month of taking it. It ended up ruining the skin on my face. I have huge scars the dermatologist is helping me removing them but it scared me for life. Do not take."

For Birth Control "I am 18 years old and recently started taking this birth control. My doctor told me I would see results in two weeks and I’m now on week 3 and nothing has changed. My acne actually got worse and the main reason my mom had me start this pill was to clear up my acne she’s been complaining about. I know it’s early but I’m getting really frustrated that things are getting worse and these reviews aren’t helping. I’m open to hearing someone’s thoughts about this."

For Birth Control "I started Nortrel about three months ago and have gained 30 pounds, completely lost my appetite, and also restart my period the second I stop taking my pills and the exact same time. I was on Marlissa before this and while it gave me more anxiety it was nowhere as bad as Nortrel."

For Birth Control "I've been on this pill for 9 years and started looking on this page because I was told I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a heart murmur, and possibly lymphoma. I was just interested in the side effects. I don't know that my birth control has caused it but I'm healthy and 29. I eat healthy and exercise. My current weight is 101. I've never had weight issues with pill and never had bad cramps. Periods have always been easy. I do get a full period if I miss just one pill which I'm hearing isn't normal but it's what my body does. Overall I have been satisfied with this pill just wondering now what long term effects could be."
