Oral Contraceptives Reviews

Show: for
I tried this, and it helped ease the pain. However, it had the side effect of giving me frequent panic attacks. So I stopped taking it.
YAZ helps with my skin, not with my PMS. I am going to switch to Yasmin.
it worked when i was on it.....kind of....mellowed me out a little
Moody, Nausea, Lessened cramps and bleeding.
Depro, Yaz, Yasmin, Lo-Estrin, Fencom, etc.
They helped make my periods lighter and less painful but they made me feel depressed.
Ortho-TriCylen worked for a while, then the symptoms started comeing back, so I switched to Ortho Cyclen, then to Desogyn. I'm now on Reclipsen, and still adjusting. I know they're supposed to work the same, but it seems like every time I switch brands there's an adjustment period.
I used the generic form of Ortho TriCyclen, which is called Tri-Sprintec. It was effective for preventing pregnancy but I experienced horrible side effects, among them severe mood swings, heavy fluid retention, and FREQUENT YEAST INFECTIONS.
The BC pill with more estrogen helps me with my irritability and "monster" like personality the wk b4 my period
I still have the same issues but they are not as bad.
