Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I went on this for 2 months to see if it would offset the breakthrough bleeding I had on ortho tri lo.  I lost weight because this pill caused me to have terrible diahrrea.  It was so bad it continued after I was off of it for 6 months.  I had to see a GI dr because I thought I had IBS.  This pill caused me to be nauseous, have acid reflux and zapped my sex drive.  It caused vaginal dryness too.  I would also get terrible migraines and I NEVER get migraines or headaches.  I ended up going off of it because my body couldn't handle the side effects.   Made me slightly melancholy and tired too.



It did prevent pregnancy and no spotting.  I also had a decreased appetite and weight loss so it wasn't the worst."
