The drug is rather good, did not cause any side effects on me, but is unaffordable even with insurance coverage.

I am barely in my first week of taking this pill and the headaches and nausea have been so bad I'm thinking of coming off of it. I have spent every night with a severe headache and nausea and vomiting. I have taken other oral contraceptives that haven't given me this much trouble, especially this early. This pill isn't worth the trouble for me.

Switched from Implanon to this. Implanon was much easier, but I had lost my sex drive. This did not help. I also broke out in a spotty rash after only 2 weeks of treatment. Will not use again.
