For Birth Control "This pill started out fine with some minor side effects that I was told I would adjust to. Everything got worse with time. I wake up trembling with anxiety most mornings, I always look/feel pregnant, I cry over EVERYTHING so much so that it’s ruining my professional life at work as I cannot control the waterworks. My sex drive is gone and I am honestly terrified to give any other pill a try just because of the experiences I have had on this one."

For Birth Control "Took this in July 2017 for three weeks. This is the worst birth control I have ever taken. I was extremely angry and depressed. I hated the sight of other people. Every night after work I would lay on the couch for hours and cry. It made my mind race a million miles per hour and my body ache all over. The only good thing about this pill is that I became more assertive and people started to listen to me. I was mad angry."

For Birth Control "I decided to switch birth controls because my other one still gave me period cramps. The pill club switched me to Vienva and let me just say I wouldn’t recommend this to my worst enemy. This birth control has caused me to become extremely depressed and every day I will burst into tears at least once over nothing which I never ever did on any other birth control. It’s starting to really affect my daily life and I find myself not wanting to get out of bed because I lack the energy and motivation to. I will be switching back as soon as I can. Don’t take this unless it’s strongly recommended by a doctor, there’s a reason that more than half the people that take this have a bad experience with it."

For Birth Control "Soo I started taking Vienva some months back and experienced some of the side effects mentioned in the reviews like an irregular cycle, but the side effect that stuck out the most was ANXIETY. Severe anxiety and night sweats. I’m already an over thinker so this destroyed me. I got off of it and started taking another BC, felt fine and started thinking more clearly. Because I received Vienva through the pill club, I had extra packs. Long story short, I ran out of my other BC and couldn’t get my new prescription due to the pharmacy being closed on the weekend and a holiday fell on the Monday after the weekend so I started taking Vienva again. Worst mistake ever. My anxiety is back through the roof, very emotional, can’t stay off of google trying to self diagnose my sore throat for everything under the sun except allergies. I can’t sleep due to the constant anxiety, and I honestly would not recommend this to my worse enemy."

For Birth Control "I’m so glad I came across these reviews because I don’t feel so alone now. First of all, I’m only giving this pill a 1 because it didn’t get me pregnant other than that, I’ve never had such a bad experience. Luckily, I didn’t get acne or gain weight. But my mood completely shifted. I became depressed and filled anxiety which isn’t normal for me. I cry all the time for no reason. This pill hasn’t changed my friendships but it has taken a toll on my relationship with my boyfriend. I am constantly mad at him for no reason. I don’t feel like myself anymore. I was going to the gym 5x a week and lost interest in fitness. I originally thought I was mildly depressed but after all of these reviews, I realize now it’s all due to this pill. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone!!!"

For Birth Control "Do NOT take this birth control. I have been on Orsythia for about two years. My insurance company switched me to Vienva without notifying me. I figured I'd just try it out to see how it worked out so I wouldn't have to keep reminding my pharmacy to give me Orsythia rather than Vienna. Anyway, I've only been on this medication for 4 days and have already contacted the pharmacy about paying out of pocket to get my Orsythia pack back. In only 4 days I am a completely different person. I've gone through a roller coaster of emotions from anxiety, to anger, to just sobbing for no reason. Also I've come very close to vomiting because anything other than carbs has made my stomach terribly upset. I will never take this medication ever again."

For Birth Control "Run far away from this pill! I was also switched from Orysthia (which did wonders for me) to Vienva without being notified. I figured also since it had the same active ingredients I would be fine wrong! The past week has been nothing but a nightmare! My moods have been so up and down! Feeling depressed I lashed out on one of my best friends for no reason! Please don't take this! I'm calling my pharmacy right now to see if I could get back on Orysthia!"

For Birth Control "I was taking this birth control for around 6 months, and there was major change. For the first 2 months my breasts were very sore as if I was about to get my period, but it was constant. The rest of the time was normal, but I saw that I was a bit more hormonal then usual, and my sex drive went significantly down. My body usually adjusts to birth control very quickly so my periods were regulated after taking this medication within second month, and my periods were constant from then on. Everyone’s body is different so it might react differently. I had to get off this pill though because my doctor thinks that it might be affecting my blood pressure, so if you have high blood pressure in your family, ask your doctor first!"

For Birth Control "I have been taking this the Vienva pill for a week and can't stand it, I'm switching tomorrow. I have cried so much and felt so depressed and anxious that it has exhausted me. I have never felt this sad all the time. It's seriously unbearable. DO NOT take this pill, the side effects are awful, I can't believe that they still write prescriptions for it."

For Birth Control "Started and for two months I am very conscious of the placebo affect and not pysching myself out. But I have noticed I get bad acne now, I get very upset and very sad sporadically which is not normal of me, I get angry also for periods and my hair is much thinner. I can’t feel much bloating but perhaps I haven’t paid close enough attention to that. My weight has remained the same. My periods are just dark blood not incredibly painful at all very “normal” Only real noticeable complaint is truly the acne which I never get and the minor mood swings. I’ll give it a longer shot and will update"

For Birth Control "I posted a review Feb20 on here. Update: I am considering switching to another pill. After 4 months, I started feeling really dizzy/nauseous randomly throughout the day. To say the least, this exacerbated my anxiety to the max. I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in a long time because of the anxiety. I feel really dizzy all the time and my neck feels tense. I was having a good experience with this pill until the past two months. Anxiety is wild y’all."

For Birth Control "Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience either. I had to change from Orysthia to Vienva and honestly both gave me bad side effects. I had monthly horrible migraines, horrible bloating and stomach pains and I've also started not being able to sleep well and would have dreams that I actually yell out when I used to never do that. I've gotten randomly depressed since taking any general birth control and would break down crying for no reason and wanted life to end. I thought it was some personal problem but after reading many of these other reviews, I see that I'm not the only one."

For Birth Control "I started this Vienva 3 weeks ago and it’s the worst . I’ve been have terrible stomach pains for a week now. Every time I look at food it makes me feel sick. I feel as if I’m hungry but when I eat the stomach pain gets worse. Woke up last night feeling like I was gonna puke and couldn’t go back to sleep. On top of that I have zero sex drive and everything upsets me which is affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. I’ve also noticed hair loss."

For Birth Control "You name it (side effects) I have it!! All of them terrible mood swings, constipation, bloated, non stop headaches spotting 24/7 decreased sex drive. It's really a freaking awful time for me been on for only 3 weeks but calling doctor tomorrow for sure wish I would have looked at these reviews before...."

For Birth Control "This is my first time on birth control and it has been THE WORST experience of my life. Month one was fine, I had nausea and threw up some but nothing over bearing. Now I'm at the end of month two and I'm completely over this pill! I have nausea everyday, I feel like I have to throw up all the time, I got my first ever yeast infection, I have had extreme bloating for days at a time, and also I am experiencing pain while having sex. After sex I’m in so much pain I just want to cry and it could’ve only been 5 minutes. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I thought it was all in my head but I’m so glad I’m not the only one whose experienced these things. Also my mental health has been messed up. My fiancé even said I’ve been moody and filled with anxiety, avoid this method and try something else. Only gave this a 1 because I’m not pregnant."

For Birth Control "I’ve been on Vienva for exactly a month now and I am definitely switching. I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow already. This pill has made my migraines 10x worse. The migraines will last anywhere from 24-36 hrs straight along with nausea, tiredness, dizziness, throbbing head pain, and mild mood swings. I had awful cramps within the first week of taking it and my period lasted 15 days. This pill is just awful. I will never take Vienva again."

For Birth Control "This birth control pill ruined my life. I was taking Alesse then was prescribed Vienva once I moved countries and being told it’s the US “equivalent” to Alesse. I had no problems with Alesse besides minor mood shifts and a total weight gain of 1-2 lbs which is fine and I was able to sustainably use Alesse for years. Comparing that to being on Vienva for 3 months was a completely different story... I gained 15-17 lbs within a little over a month, and I am a petite 125lb woman. In addition, I lost all my sexual libido, was irritable and depressed, had massive mood swings constantly, and I lost interest in the gym, work, and all general home personal life. My self confidence had been shattered. I have since refused to take any more pills or refills of my prescription for Vienva and will never endorse that brand. It has been 9 months since I have been off the medication and I am still struggling to lose all the weight I have gained from this dreaded pill."

For Birth Control "I'm only going on 2 months on Vienva and I'm done after this. It does it's job of preventing pregnancy, sure, but the side effects are a killer! It increased my anxiety substantially which is a problem as I already have GAD and panic disorder. My appetite swung from constantly starving to not wanting to eat a crumb. The abdominal cramping I get is severe, even worse then the cramps I got PMS-ing every month before I took this medication. And, isn't birth control supposed to help relieve PMS symptoms? It certainly does not do that for me. It makes them 10 times worse. This is just my final straw here and I will be stopping this medication."

For Birth Control "Literally no. Stay away from this birth control. I didn’t want to listen to the reviews and decided to give Vienva a try. The first day that I began taking it I began feeling anxious. And then it got worse and things didn’t feel real and I felt like I was not myself at all. The night that I took my THIRD pill, I was in bed not being able to sleep the entire night because I had such bad anxiety, so many scary thoughts, and my mind and body would not stop going going going. I felt myself going insane. I am not taking the 4th pill... this is crazy. And I’ve been on a different birth control before that made me a little more sad and emotional, but this was a whole other level."

For Birth Control "This Vienva is the first birth control pill I’ve tried and I’m not pregnant so it’s doing its job. I felt nauseated a handful of times during the first two weeks, but it went away. I didn’t have to deal with any breakthrough bleeding and my periods are less heavy now, which is never a bad thing. My sex drive is definitely lower than it was before, but I haven’t really noticed any other side effects."

For Birth Control "Let's start off by saying this has prevented pregnancy. BUT, my anxiety, depression, acne, and weight gain have sky-rocketed. Every time I think my acne is gone it comes right back, and I'm 21 years old. I get anxiety just by eating in front of someone because I over-think how I'm eating. I've gained almost 15 pounds just from being on this (NONE of it being in my blogs). I have also noticed a plummeted sex drive and less "lubrication" than before. My motivation to do things I used to love doing all the time now only comes in waves. I've also experienced random breakthrough bleeding which freaked me out. UUGGHHH I have to take 5 more months of this rubbish before I switch to Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I'm very upset."

For Birth Control "I am 19 years old and this is my first time on any kind of birth control. I’ve been taking Vienva for about six months. When I first started taking it, I experienced some bigger acne breakouts for a few days, but then my skin became completely clear and has stayed that way since. I don’t experience any nausea. My periods went from wildly irregular and unpredictable to coming like clockwork every 28 days. My sex drive has stayed the same. The only negative side to this medication so far has been very minor hair loss. I noticed my hair thinning out a couple months after I started taking the pill, but it’s nothing crazy. No bald spots, just thinner all around. Also, I’m not pregnant, so that’s a plus! If you’re looking to take the pill, I do recommend Vienva. Still, keep in mind that every body responds to medication differently. This is only MY experience, and yours might be different. Still recommend, though! :)"

For Birth Control "At first everything was fine, but then I realized I was even more anxious than usual (I have an anxiety disorder already) and then I was bloated. I can't fit into any of my jeans. Then, my period when it did come was super heavy. Blood clot heavy. I have aches and pains. I never have periods like this. I feel like utter crap. I'm stopping this med even though it's been a month or two. Back to my old birth control."

For Birth Control "Hi. I started Vienva because my boyfriend and I had decided we wanted to try having unprotected sex. The Vienva was the worst experience of my life. I'm the happiest girl in the world- always laughing and smiling. But Vienva just completely flipped a switch in me. I'm miserable, I can't concentrate, and my anxiety is through the roof. I feel terrible and I'm always crying-- AND I'M NOT A CRIER. Do not take this birth control PLEASE. I didn't think it would affect me like this but it has. Save yourself."
