Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"I have been on this pill for a year and a half. It took my body over 6 months to finally adjust to this pill and stop spotting. Cramps are worsened when my period finally does come. The only benefits of this pill is its effectiveness of pregnancy prevention and fewer periods. The following are just a few of my negative side effects I%u2019ve had since starting this pill:
-dry eyes
-anxiety
-heart palpitations
-extreme appetite increase
-20 pound weight gain and cannot lose it!
-dry skin
-cellulite
-spider veins
-random PMS
-tired/low energy all the time
-dry brittle hair/hair thinning
-extreme bloating
-headaches
-yeast infections once a month (never had them before the pill)
-more discharge
-different body odor
Stopping this pill ASAP!"
