I'm 24 years old. I was prescribed jolivette/errin because of my serious migraines. At least, almost 5 months after beginning the pill, I'm not pregnant. Though I have frequent pregnancy scares especially because of my now scarce periods. However, I have decided to come off the pill today because I am too fat for comfort. I have gained 10 pounds since March( my first month). Also, my boyfriend has ... Show Full Comment

I'm 24 years old. I was prescribed jolivette/errin because of my serious migraines. At least, almost 5 months after beginning the pill, I'm not pregnant. Though I have frequent pregnancy scares especially because of my now scarce periods. However, I have decided to come off the pill today because I am too fat for comfort. I have gained 10 pounds since March( my first month). Also, my boyfriend has noticed my frequent sad, depressed and very emotional moods. Plus, I've been sleeping a lot-- I wake up 9am-ish and I'm feeling sleepy at 1pm again. Furthermore, the acne is WAYY over the top! I have a new pimple every 2 days! no jokes! On my face, chin, neck, back, chest...I just can't take it anymore. I thought it was my food but trust me, there's nothing I'm eating now that I wasn't eating a year ago and even before. I am deciding to either go the way of ABSTINENCE or go the way of CONDOMS.

DON'T DO IT!! I took this pill for 3 months and I went to the doctor for a check in.. I gained 18 pounds and my eating habits have NOT CHANGED... I started feeling extremely moody, depressed, bloated, nauseous, severe headaches & dizziness randomly during the day.. THIS IS THE WORST BIRTH CONTROL I'VE TAKEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!

I am in my mid 40s. I have been on Errin for a year. My hair did experience loss, but it is growing back nicely. It has taken almost a year for me to notice irritability and acne setting in. I did not make the connection with the pill until reading other comments on Errin. I do not know if my period is every three weeks, four weeks, or six weeks. I do get cramps for a few days inbetween and I ... Show Full Comment

I did not make the connection with the pill until reading other comments on Errin. I do not know if my period is every three weeks, four weeks, or six weeks. I do get cramps for a few days inbetween and I think I am going to get my period, but I don't. I have gained weight (20lbs) also. I don't care for that, but my blood pressure is great (estrogen made it sky rocket). Overall, I am satisfied with it. I don't always take it exactly the same time (usually within an hour of same time each day).

If you have a history of depression, I do not recommend this drug. I had to discontinue use after 2 weeks due to severe depression and irritability.

I have taken this medication for three years due to getting blood clots in my leg. I have notice some mood swings.. but better than a baby. I have battled with acne since I stopped estrogen birth control but can't say that the pill made it worse because I went off it for three months and still had the acne. I have noticed within the last year that it gives me a thicker and more frequent discharge ... Show Full Comment

I have taken this medication for three years due to getting blood clots in my leg. I have notice some mood swings.. but better than a baby. I have battled with acne since I stopped estrogen birth control but can't say that the pill made it worse because I went off it for three months and still had the acne. I have noticed within the last year that it gives me a thicker and more frequent discharge that I don't like:( overall I am statified but find it difficult to take at the same time everyday as my schedule is frequently changing. I still have a normal period every month but it is not worse or better than when I was on estrogen birth control. I have never noticed hair loss like other reviews have reported.
