Horrible experience. Taken for two weeks and trying to finish out the pack to go back to my old pill. 4 days in I experienced stabbing cramps in my pelvic area in the middle of the night. 2 weeks in I experienced the worst multi day anxiety attack I have ever had in my life. Cold hands and feet, body tingling, itching, sweating, chills, feeling of impending doom. I have never felt this bad in all of my life. I have 10 more active pills left before I can stop and I wish I could stop tomorrow. If you experience any side effects talk to your doctor ASAP. It is not worth the stress or side effects if they are interfering with your daily life. I hope this ends soon because I did not want to throw my body off by switching pills mid pack but I do not know how much more of this I can take!Read More Read Less

It works. I am 40 and dont need to take this for birth control reasons because I had my tubes tied after my 2nd child. But I have heavy bleeding where it was concerning enough for the doc to put me on this. I do get bad headaches if I forget to take them. Hormonal fluctuations make my head pound for days if I forget, so I try not to. I am instructed to take the 3 weeks and when I get to the placebos, I skip the iron pills all together and go to the next pack. I havent had a period in 4 or 5 years. It doesnt make me feel nuts or emotional because the hormone is low, which is good for me b/c of age and family history with blood and heart diseases.Read More Read Less
