For Birth Control "I have been taking this BC for almost 3 months now and let me tell you. This is terrible. I have had constant breakthrough bleeding for over a month now and so much acne. The only plus side I got from taking this pill is that I’m not gaining weight and no pregnancy."

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 30-45mins 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 "I was diagnosed years ago with dysmennorhea and every since then I have been completely miserable while on my periods. (Back pain, leg pain, cramping, clots, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, etc) I couldn't attend work or school because it made me so sick. I felt like the pain was worsening every month.. Tylenol quit working, tramadol had no effect, I had to take a Lortab to feel relief. So I asked my Dr for birth control pills and since taking them I have such a light period I forgot I was on it.. it only lasted four days. I am relieved of the horrible symptoms and I can finally live a normal life. However there were side effects of this drug, as expected (rash, nausea, loss of appetite, vaginal infection) but they are manageable."

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 swtich to something I like again, even if it costs more. Don't get Enskyce!"

For Birth Control "I started Enskyce when I was 16, so in 2017 and it was absolutely amazing. I had no nausea, no fatigue and a high sex drive. I stopped BC January of 2020 and started it back up about 8 months later. Almost immediately I had horrible insomnia and my sex drive is at a zero. It’s almost like they changed the pill"

For Birth Control "I got on birth control because my periods were very heavy. I’m giving the Enskyce pill a 7 because it helped clear acne, other than the occasional breakout, and it has done a good job at preventing pregnancy, however, it barely helped make my period lighter, and it has changed my mood drastically. I’ve noticed at the end of each pack I get very depressed for a few days for no reason and then it goes away. It just messes with me emotionally"

"Same as a previous user mentioned, I only had to take this for 3 weeks prior to IVF but whoah! In the first 3 days I was emotional, irritated and nauseated it was horrible and not me, It had crippled my daily life, I noticed onset of nausea and mood swings within 4-6hrs of taking the medication. I decided to take it before bed and found that most side effects have calmed down, I am on day 11 now feeling much more like myself with a better appetite but wow Enskyce has horrible side effects during initial use. I also have been spotting the last two days assuming again this is Enskyce, no weight gain or additional symptoms."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this for 2.5 years. At first everything was fine, but a year into it I started having constant spotting. My emotions are all over the board. I’ll be feeling really low and recognize I have nothing to feel down about but I can’t shake this sad/nothingness feeling. This is my last month and I’m getting off."

For Birth Control "I just finished my first month of this. I previously was on Nortrel 7/7/7 and have tried the ring. This has been the most problematic off the bat. Although my acne seems to be getting better, I have bled every day since starting the pack. It seems to be more than spotting though, its a flow similar to the middle of my period. Also, when I started my placebo pills my “period” has been more heavy than any I've had in my life. In the first week I experienced nausea and extreme mood swings and depression. My symptoms have not ben consistent with any of the other times I’ve been on birth control, hopefully they get better over the next 2 months or I’m asking for a different birth control."

For Birth Control "Terrible, terrible, terrible. Other than it working, it’s terrible. I've NEVER had an issue with acne until starting this BC. When I first started taking it I thought that the acne and extreme fatigue was because I switch birth control methods and my body was adjusting. 3 months in and acne worsened and I’m still tired all the time. I’m more emotional and sensitive towards things where I’m constantly putting myself down. Come Monday I’m calling my doctor to switch me to a different brand. I just can’t anymore with this birth control brand."

"It’s a shame that Enskyce was my first experience with birth control. It is TERRIBLE. I had horrible mood swings and was really depressed. My period was heavier and my cramps were unbearable (worse than when I was off birth control). I also experienced breakthrough bleeding on my 4th month of the pill. Only positive was no weight gain. Do not take this pill for your own sake!!!"

For Birth Control "I took Enskyce birth control pill for approximately 3 years to help decrease my heavy menstrual flow as well as regulate my cycle. It worked well for these purposes. However, I suffered massive bilateral pulmonary embolisms at the age of 33 and the physicians all felt that this medication was the root cause. Please be very careful!"

For Birth Control "This is my second birth control I've tried and compared to the first one (whose name I forgot) this one was amazing for me. My acne on my back got better and wasn't a concern with acne on my face, I was more susceptible to being emotional but that was at night where most minds are typically active. I didn't have any major negative side effects either. Cycle started and ended at the same time and length consistently. Sex drive wasn't effected. Would get a cramp one in a blue moon. I suddenly got switched over to Isibloom when I went to go pick up my prescription. So I'm going to give it a go and see how it goes for a couple of months and switch back if needed."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on this pill for 6 months. I thought my period was starting to get normal but out of no where (after intercourse) I got my period and have had it for 2 weeks now! It’s time to change! Now I have to get an MRI to make sure there’s nothing wrong."

For Birth Control "This stuff is not great. I only was on it for 6 months just because I could not handle the side effects. It made my skin EXTREMELY dry, and I had nice skin, my skin has never been a concern until I started this pill. Also, it made my cramping terrible and made my period extremely heavy, but my period did regulate so I guess overall it did what it was supposed to do. But I did end up changing pills"

For Birth Control "I tried this pill to help with cramps and I haven’t had the greatest experience, it’s definitely not the worst pill ever, but I’ve had a few probs with it. I noticed that it’s made my anxiety worse (I was previously diagnosed from it) and I get a lot of random headaches. Periods are pretty normal, you get little weird cramps when PMSing, you get them for a few mins and they go away all throughout the week. Didn’t make period much lighter or shorter. Usually lasts 5 days, but cramps aren’t bad. It’s probably different for everybody."

For Birth Control "I've had a mostly positive experience with Enskyce. I've experienced tender breasts, nausea, and an acne flare up that has gotten better with time. I use it to regulate my periods, so it's nice to have normal bleeding every month. My first withdrawal bleed was very crampy and heavy, so be prepared for that, especially if you have/had irregular or absent periods."

For Birth Control "I was very hopeful this pill would help my condition. I’m 28 years old, have suffered with endometriosis since I got my period and have suffered with chronic ovarian cysts for the last 3 years. This immediately improved my pelvic/abdominal pain and cramping with my period and I was so excited. It also improved some hair that grows on my chin that I have to wax or pluck and I felt much less moody. However, after about a week on it I started suffering severe nausea to the point it was debilitating. Then came the migraines and I had to stop taking it. Instant relief from nausea one day off of it. So bummed this didn’t work out."

For Birth Control "The worst experience I have ever had. Was put on this due to irregular periods on IUD. Got the IUD taken out, needed a D&C after. Then after taken one form of birth control that still given me irregular periods I was placed on this one. This is my third month on them and my period came the last week of active pill and even though I have kept taking it as directed I have been on my period since September 3rd!"

For Birth Control "I have been on Enskyce for 6 months. Before Enskyce, I was on Azurette, which is the same hormone combo but a little lower on the estrogen. I switched to the higher estrogen pill, Enskyce, because I kept spotting terribly on Azurette. The spotting did get better on Enskyce, although it took months. So far, Enskyce is the best birth control I have ever been on - others I have tried have been Ortho Tricyclen Lo (neither good nor bad, but didn't help my heavy period at all), Norethindrone minipill (awful, terrible side effects, constant heavy bleeding), and Azurette as I stated earlier. So far Enskyce is the clear winner. I did have emotional side effects for the first month, however - I was really cranky and over-sensitive. Just really impatient and easily annoyed. I became a real jerk and it was very out of character for me. It went away after a month. My period is significantly lightened by Enskyce, which was my goal in taking BC as my natural period is horrendously heavy."

For Birth Control "Love this medicine. No side effects, no weight gain, best pill I’ve found for my acne! Love this one. I’ve tried a few different types of pills, the Depo shot, and the arm insert, and this one is my favorite by far."

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 SUPERRRR 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 ig."

For Birth Control "I am not a fan of taking any birth control pills or any other drugs at all. I was prescribed Enskyce in preparation to my fertility treatment. I am a very active person and don't eat junk. My main concert was weight gain that can happen even if you're continuing with healthy lifestyle. Happy to report, that after a month of taking it, I didn't experience any bloating or weight gain at all. On the of the not-so-good side effects is somewhat weaker libido and a bit of fogginess. Like my emotions are so neutral, I am not getting very excited or upset, I am just neutral to everything."

For Birth Control "This Enskyce birth control was amazing at first, but started to get worse over time . First 6 months , clear skin, no weight gain, I skipped my period with it , no mood swings. After about 6 months I randomly had spotting and extreme pain where I had to go to the urgent care. It went away, and I’m covered in acne, very emotional, and no sex drive ."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on enskyce for four months now and my acne has not improved. Other then that I feel fine on this birth control pill. No headaches or anything. Period last three days now which is cool. Mood swings occasionally. I’m kind of bummed this hasn’t helped my acne go away though."
