My daughter experienced severe nausea and vomiting and leg pains after using this medication for only 5 days. I have taken her off of it and am going to request a new rx from her doctor.

Infact, I'm ten pounds lighter and feel more normal than I have in years. I don't have nearly as much PMS or monthly anxiety and depression. Throughout the years on the pill I have had brownish spotting about 1 week before my period. It does not always happen. Otherwise, my period comes like CLOCKWORK and lasts 2 days. It's so light I don't even need to use a tampon sometimes.

While taking this medication for almost 2 months,I developed chest wall pain. In all my years I never had a problem with any other birth control pills before. I called my doctor and had it changed. I'm not taking any chances.

I have been on this pill for four months now and last month I recieved my period one week early and now have been bleeding for a full month. I also have bad cramping, and severe headaches. I refuse to keep taking this pill and am scheduled to see my doc to change pills.
