I started taking azurette only because i had to go to walgreens (I am with CVS) at the last minute to re-up. I usually take Kariva but these three months i've taken Azurette, my boobs are so sore it hurts to touch them, decreased libido however no irregular bleeding. Biggest problem is the sore boobs!

My first month on Azurette was utter torment. After the first month, several of the side effects had subsided. However, I am now very sensitive to smells (to the point where I feel as if I'm going to vomit) and often feel sick a week before to the week after my period. Though I now have a regular cycle, my cramps and mood swings persist. I am now incredibly emotional and often feel depressed due t ... Show Full Comment

Though I now have a regular cycle, my cramps and mood swings persist. I am now incredibly emotional and often feel depressed due to my negative reaction. This medication also has caused severe anxiety. I can't sleep without some sort of sleep aid and still wake in the middle of the night in a panic. It has caused me more grief than good even though I take it at the same time daily. I would not recommend this medication.

If only I could give negative stars. Before I started taking this pill I was very happy and perfectly healthy. Had headaches the first 2 months on it but they went away. I did not get pregnant while I was on the pill--so it was effective there--but over the 11 mo I was taking it, I experienced weight gain, terrible mood swings, decreased libido, and bad acid indigestion. I thought it was stress. T ... Show Full Comment

I did not get pregnant while I was on the pill--so it was effective there--but over the 11 mo I was taking it, I experienced weight gain, terrible mood swings, decreased libido, and bad acid indigestion. I thought it was stress. Then during the last month on it, I went to the ER with unimaginable abdominal pain and ended up hospitalized for 5 days for acute pancreatitis. This is listed as one of the many potential side effects of this drug and my internal medicine doc was convinced it was the cause. This "easy BC pill" cost me thousands in medical bills, unbearable pain and personal and physical trauma I am still recovering from almost 1 year later. If you are reading this, I pray it does not happen to you. I would not wish it even on my worst enemy. I will NEVER take another BC pill again of any kind and I will be reporting this one to the FDA. I am probably the 1 in a million case, but you do not want to even risk being the next one in a million. Please try something else!

I went on this birth control because I needed a form of contraceptive and also to keep my hormonal breakouts under control. This is the pill that planned parenthood recommended to me.

I went on this birth control because I needed a form of contraceptive and also to keep my hormonal breakouts under control. This is the pill that planned parenthood recommended to me. It has cleared my skin up pretty amazingly in the first month. However, it makes me super bloated, exhausted, and incredibly emotional. About 2 hours after taking this pill I feel like crying so I have to take it right before bed. I am going to give it the 3 months and see how much weight I end up gaining before I decide to switch or not.
