For Birth Control "I’ve been on this birth control for about six months. I take birth control as a way to get rid of my periods- they are very heavy, I pass clots the entire length of my period, they last seven days every time, and I experience cramps 5/7 days. This birth control got rid of my period which has been AMAZING, but in turn made me very emotional and gave me more acne than I’ve ever had in my life. I’m 24 years old and sometimes it feels like I’m going through puberty all over again! My libido is the lowest it’s ever been, and overall I haven’t had a great experience with this birth control. Will be discontinuing."

For Birth Control "Almost a year ago, switched to Chateal. It's really hard to tell if it was good or bad. Generally, it was fine: I had sex drive, never had any major issues, my periods got much lighter, although not shorter (a week exactly). So it wasn't bad at all. At the same time, for the past 6 months I was constantly struggling with cytolitic vaginosis. It would leave me dry, cause irritation inside to the point I couldn't have sex for days, give me some not-terrible-but excessive discharge. I decided to switch because at a certain point, I lost sex drive, got pretty depressed (I definitely had reasons to be so, but not to this extend). My nipples would get SO sensitive that I couldn't even accidentally lightly touch them. That's where I decided to switch to a lower dose of hormones, and so far so good. For me it was not a bad birth control. It was mostly smooth. I guess you should just always keep in mind that it can change at any point, and you will need to switch."

For Birth Control "I started taking this birth control Chateal EQ for about a year taking about a month of a break from it in between every 5 months. Initially I noticed some symptoms of heightened anxiety, and fatigue, I started having shorter periods and less cramps during my menstruation which was great but I started noticing after about 2-3 months of using it I was having severe moodiness like depression, anxiety, and short temper. Once I got off of the pill I felt like myself again. This was my personal experience with this pill and it might not be the same for everyone"

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill Chateal EQ since November and I absolutely hate it. I have had no periods up until this month (March) - and now mid pill pack I have heavy breakthrough bleeding. My sex drive is gone completely and my vagina is very dry all the time. My nose has been stuffy since the week I began this pill. My breasts are slightly bigger but not worth the acne I now have in my 30s (never had acne before). The first two months gave me very deep painful pimples , now I get small breakouts on my face and shoulders. I am very irritable and emotional and my energy level is very low. I will be discontinuing this pill."

For Birth Control "This drug was an absolute nightmare for me. Normally, I'm a passive and altruistic person. I care deeply for others and don't even hurt flies. However, this drug made me extremely angry and aggressive for the week I was on it. It also gave me horrible migraines and nausea which made the anger and aggression even worse because I felt sick all the time on top of the extreme irritability. The packs I have of these are going straight into the garbage. I've never quit a drug this quickly before, I was only on it for maybe a week."

"I started on Chateal EQ because I was experiencing very bad PMDD symptoms. I know that Yaz is usually recommended for PMDD, but I wanted to try a more standard birth control pill first. Unlike a lot of other reviews, I really haven't experienced any negative side-effects, and it definitely helps with my PMDD. During the reminder week I have much more manageable symptoms, and no longer go into 2-week long depression, anxiety, or rage spells. I feel like myself again. I haven't noticed any related weight gain, and I've been on the pill for 3 years at this point. I still have VERY mild PMDD symptoms, but they're finally manageable. I know a lot of women do not do well on birth control, and it won't really matter which pill they take as all of them will have negative side-effects, some of them very severe. I was afraid of birth control for a while because of all the negative reviews, but I'm so glad I finally did something about my PMDD and started on Chateal EQ."

For Birth Control "Before taking the pill I was depressed but my depression was decreasing, meaning going away. It’s been a month since I been taking Chateal Eq birth control and it has made me cry out of the blue for no reason. Like I would over think my boyfriend is doing something or I’ll have attitudes with him a bit, I’ve been moody as well. It also made my sex drive worst, this one time I was so dry and couldn’t get lubricated. When I was pregnant my boobs got bigger but since birth control my boobs been growing uncontrollably to the point where my regular bra size don’t fit me no more I also feel like it gave me a bad odor. I will shower and after I dry up I will smell myself to make sure I’m fine but I’d smell. I’m going to stop this birth control it makes me feel insecure about myself which gotten worse . My period been normal but it’ll go away fast ."

For Birth Control "I started this medication about 3 months ago for PCOS and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, this brought my extremely heavy, nonstop 6mo period to a complete halt within just a few days, and unlike a lot of others here I haven't had any acne, bloating, or nausea. However, I've experienced breast tenderness to the point of being painful to the touch, especially close to my period, and I have EXTREMELY painful cramps throughout the month (maybe 1 or 2 days a week) that I didn't start having until my first period on this pill. I've also noticed a spike in irritability, though I'm not sure this pill is the cause. I suspect the cramps may be the result of my hormones being extremely imbalanced for so long, so I intend to give this product another 3mo to see what happens. If my mood worsens, or if the painful cramps persist after 6mo, then I'll definitely change meds. I would say if you use this, monitor your body and mood closely for any changes."

"I have been on the pill for about 2 months now and many of the side effects have disappeared. When I first started taking this pill I was nauseous and had hot flashes during the night. I was recommended this brand from my local planned parenthood. I wish I had done more research on brands. But after the first month of using it many of the negative side effects were gone. It may work differently for everyone giving different side effects. Overall, make sure to do your own research and discuss the best options with your doctor before you start the pill."
