About 3 months ago I decided I wanted to go on birth control. I went to a doctor and talked about my options, because I have migraines with aura, but I just decided to go with the pill and see if it gave me any headaches. The week leading up to when I was going to start my first pack, I made the mistake of searching reviews online. I really think everyone flocks to the internet to complain abou...

I am on week 2 of Sronyx and so far other than a longer than normal period (lasted 9 days) and a few acne breakouts (which is uncommon for me), I have had no other side effects. I am only 98lbs so if I gained any weight this month I would be happy at this point. But if that is the case, I WILL be changing pills. I have never gained weight on pills or have gotten acne. The only side effect I have ever gotten was breast enlargement up to a 1/2 cup size on any birthcontrol that I have been on and so far I have not gotten that on Sronyx(BUT it is only week 2).

I have had headaches, extreme fatigue, pimples and absolutely worst of all - I have gained almost 15 pounds in the three months I have been on it! Like one of the other users, Walgreens changed me to this pill without permission.

DO NOT TAKE AS A BIRTH CONTROL PILL!!! THE DOSE IS NOT ENOUGH TO PREVENT PREGNANCY. WORST SIDE EFFECTS OF ANY PILL I,VE BEEN ON. IT IS NOT A GENERIC OF ANY OTHER PILL. NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE A BCP. IF YOU WERE SWITCHED TO THIS BY YOUR PHARMACY (IN MY CASE WALGREENS) GO TO YOUR DOCTOR ASAP TO SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE. AND REPORT THE PHARMACY. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT THIS PILL IS BASICALLY AN "OLD LADY HORMONE PILL". IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR A PHARMACY TO SWITCH YOUR MEDICINE EVEN MORE SO WHEN IT IS SWITCHED TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU WERE TAKING IT FOR. Read More Read Less

I am more depressed than I have ever been and my head is killing me. This is extremely out of character for me; I am an extremely easy going person, which leads me to believe that it is the sronyx and not me being an emotional girl.

Instead of shortening my period it extended it, and increased the flow, my period was very heavy with clots. It didn't ease my cramping either.
