First I was on the depo provera shot which worked great but causes bone loss so i thought I'd switch. plus it didn't feel natural not getting a period and I gained weight on it.

First I was on the depo provera shot which worked great but causes bone loss so i thought I'd switch. plus it didn't feel natural not getting a period and I gained weight on it. Then i tried patch which made me so sick and had worst cramps of my life even tho it wasn't that time of the month.-only lasted a few days on patch. Then I switched to sronyx. It regulated my cycle perfectly and my periods seemed light and were predictable. Any symptoms were minimal. Slight decrease in libido, feeling a little tired more often. Except... One problem I had is that my heart started skipping beats (heart palpitations) followed by a strong beat and sometimes, but not as often, my heart had sharp pains. Heart palpitations became more frequent sometimes happening several times a day but sometimes just a few times a week. I also felt an increase of anxiety- which might be because I kept wondering if a heart attack was around the corner. What made me stop taking it finally is that one night while i was sleeping, in my dream i felt my heart skip a beat like the other times but then it all of the sudden beat so hard several times that it woke me up so instantly and it was so painful. It felt like a professional baseball player was swinging at me in the chest with a baseball bat... It lasted for less than a minute, but left me a bit shaken up. Went to the doctor the next day and they did blood tests and everything and I'm perfectly healthy and the results were inconclusive... Heart palpitations have lessened since i stopped taking it but I've only been off it a month yet still slight palpitations occur. May not be related but I can't think of anything else since I'm a young (22) healthy person with no history of heart problems. The thing was that it was at random times that weren't stressful so I cant relate it to anxiety either... Maybe I'm just not meant for birth control hormones..

I´ve been using oral contraceptives for 6 years. I have been on Sronyx for almost 3 years now & it has been the best oral contraceptive yet.

When I first started using it, I had bad cramps but those disappeared after about a year. Now I have zero cramps and my periods are extremely light & short. I love it. It´s better than the NuvaRing (which triggered my severe allergy to Latex and was very uncomfortable to wear) and Yaz (which caused clotting and severe cramps during my period). If you have just started taking Sronyx, be patient!! Your body needs time to adapt. I have no increased appetite and have learned to control my weight through diet and exercise.

I was on Lessina until it was changed to Sronyx. I have been on it four days now, and I have been having headaches, nausea if I don't eat with the pill, and now nosebleeds. Now, I have to search for another birth control to switch to! I really wish that Lessina HAD NOT BEEN CHANGED!! I am 28 years old and too old for this!

I have made it through almost one month on this birth control pill and my experience so far has been less than stellar. I have acne like a pre-pubescent teenager (I am 33 yrs old with formerly perfect skin), am constantly hungry, am having to work out twice as hard to maintain my weight, am craving fatty and sugary foods and am EXTREMELY emotional. I pity those who have to spend time around me. ... Show Full Comment
