For Birth Control "Should be illegal! Constant bleeding, extreme bloating (look 6 months pregnant), severe mood swings from angry to hysterical, uncontrollably sobbing for days, severe depression, breakthrough bleeding almost the entire cycle, insomnia for days, anxiety and panic attacks, swelling, massive weight gain (8 lbs) despite eating 1,200 calories and biking every day, horrible fatigue! Tried multiple times and gave up after the fourth month."

For Birth Control "This was the worst BCP I’ve ever taken. Terrible side effects, headaches, stomach cramps, bloating. Weight gain, swelling, bladder issues. I had no problems until I started taking this pill. I took it for 2 months and decided to stop because of the unbearable side effects. DO NOT TAKE, you will regret it!!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Enskyce for a little over a year. Getting adjusted was the difficult part, but you have to understand that it's new hormones entering your body. Since being adjusted to it, I have had little to no issues besides your occasional bloating and headaches. I have tried many birth control options (NuvaRing, Nexplanon, other pills) and have had a lot of issues with bleeding. This keeps me on a regular cycle, has no weight gain, and I would not say I feel very different on it. I never trusted the pill before Enskyce, and now I don't foresee myself going back to anything else."

For Birth Control "Terrible! Mother of 2. I used to take Ortho-Cept before marriage. No problems then. I asked my doctor to recommend something for my heavy cramps during my period and my once-a-month pimple that appears every month near my chin area. I am a super healthy person as I eat at home 5 days a week, cook all my meals from scratch, and do no drugs besides a few cocktails on the weekends. I work out 3 to 4 times a week. I am very in tune with my body. I am on month three with these pills, and they have thrown me through a complete tornado! I get nausea, I get bloating, my sex drive is gone! It’s awful! To top it off, I get two periods a month as I start to bloat and bleed on day 15 of the pill! It sucks! I have decided to completely go off the pill and will never return. It is not worth it. I will happily take my two days of period cramps and a pimple every month over this craziness I just went through. I plan to get the IUD and call it a day. Good luck, ladies, no thank you to more hormones."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Enskyce birth control pill for a little over a month, and it has been horrible so far. It has given me side effects so that I am anxious and sensitive to pretty much everything. My boyfriend could say “stop” to me, and I would start crying. I’m skipping the placebo pills, and yet I’m still bleeding (not nearly as much, however) AND cramping. I feel nauseous, and my boobs hurt tremendously. It pretty much feels like I’m constantly on my period (minus the bleeding). I’ve been bloated, constipated, with horrible stomach cramps. I’ve had headaches. I haven’t noticed much weight gain, but mind you I’ve only been on this a month. Apparently, symptoms are supposed to improve in a few months, but that’s ridiculous. I haven’t gotten pregnant, so that’s the only advantage to this pill. I would not recommend this brand to anybody."

For Birth Control "As a few have said, I started out on Reclipsen and got switched to Enskyce. I will give it props in the fact that it doesn't make me feel sick to my stomach at all. I was on one where I would vomit every day. However, I've noticed I'm more sensitive and prone to cry, which I'm not a cryer. I've also gained a good amount of weight while not changing my eating habits, and I just feel bloated and like I have inflammation everywhere. Another thing is I've noticed my hair feeling thinner. Ugh... if they have the same amount of hormones in the pill, why do they act differently?!? grrrrr!"

For Birth Control "The last pill I used was triphasic, which triggered panic/anxiety. Doctor suggested Enskyce. I skipped my periods, which didn't alter my mood or depression, but I've started to feel empty. I used to be more excited, but I feel numb to everything. Panic/anxiety hasn't improved from switching to Enskyce. I'm managing it, but I start to panic in situations where it's never bothered me before. I'm not suicidal, but I have negative thoughts, even strange thoughts, which I've never had before. My sex drive is nonexistent. My skin is decent but not very clear (I'm taking Enskyce for acne). These days, I'd rather have acne and be happier with life. I feel bloated after eating salads. Stomach pains are uncomfortable. I began getting chest pains, shortness of breath, my GP noticed heart palpitations/murmur, and my legs feel heavy all the time. I also cycle 30-45 mins every day and take walks. After a year, I'm starting to gain more weight, and my diet hasn't changed. I eat pretty healthily."

For Birth Control "This is the worst! I have taken Desogen and Apri, but switched to Enskyce a few months ago when it was cheaper and it was supposed to be the same. But Enskyce has made me bloated, retain water (take diuretics for this), and I had breakthrough bleeding at all different times of the month. Can't wait to finish off these last packs and switch to something I like again, even if it costs more. Don't get Enskyce!"

For Birth Control "I've been on Enskyce for about a month now, and TBH at first it was pretty bad. Around the first two weeks, I became super emotional and would complain to my boyfriend all the time, LOL (he didn't mind, I promise). But now it's gotten slightly better, and I'm chillin. I got no physical changes other than being more susceptible to bloating, and my boobs are more solid. Other than that, it's been pretty good, I guess."

For Birth Control "Nonstop spotting for 6 weeks. Weight gain, bloated. I can't wait to switch back to Juleber. My only side effect with Juleber was bigger boobs."
