For Birth Control "Omg, thank god I read all these reviews. This pill has made me get so depressed, nothing makes me happy anymore, and I was thinking of going to a psychiatrist!!!! This is the worst feeling ever. I felt helpless and cried a lot. I am calling my doctor tomorrow and letting her know. Thank you to all for the reviews because this feeling isn’t good. I kept trying to talk myself out of it and trying not to cry in front of people for no reason."

For Birth Control "I definitely started noticing that my anxiety has been through the roof since I was switched to Blisovi 24 Fe. I have never been an anxious person, but being a mother of two daughters, I just assumed it was normal to be stressed all the time, but it has changed me. I feel like I have developed social anxiety as well. All of these things that I couldn't explain... Then, I see the reviews at a 3.2!! Wow!! That is the worst rating on this site!!!! I am switching to Sprintec today. Please don't ignore your symptoms! If you feel different in your own body, listen to your intuition!"

For Birth Control "I was previously on Loestrin FE for about 2 years. I had no side effects with this medication at all! So, one day I went to pick up my auto-fill prescription about 2 months ago, and the pharmacist informed me that the prescription had been switched to Blisovi, but it's the same exact medication. Oh no, it isn't! I've had a headache (varying from severe to mild) every single day. I'm tired, hungry, my back aches more than usual, gained about 10 pounds, broke out on my face, and this headache is a nightmare. I was beginning to think I'm going crazy until I read similar reviews. I was getting so mad over stupid stuff and crying out of nowhere. My boyfriend has handled it like a champ, but hopefully won't have to for long because I'm switching!"

For Birth Control "Pharmacy switched my BCP from Gildess Fe 1/20 to Blisovi. I've gained 10+ lbs in less than 2 months! My lifestyle has always been the same - watch what I eat and work out daily. But I was not able to control my body weight. I would NOT recommend this pill to anyone."

For Birth Control "This pill is the worst!!!!! I'm a freshman in college and have been on it for almost three months, but I'm stopping it today. I can't take it anymore. I am so depressed to the point where I have spent the entire day crying on what is supposed to be a nice and relaxing family vacation!! I have terrible mood swings, gained 10 lbs, my skin is breaking out, and gotten depression (which I have had before while not taking BC), which has only been increasing during my time on the pill! I read the terrible reviews and at first thought Blisovi 24 Fe wasn't too bad, but after three months I am experiencing almost everything that everyone else who hated this pill experienced. The only plus is that my boobs got bigger lol. But seriously, do not take this."

For Birth Control "I started on this BC, Blisovi 24 Fe, after having my 3rd child. She’s a year old, and within the last year, I have developed severe anxiety, depression, outbursts, and mood swings. To the point I feel like I’m going crazy, and I can’t get a grip. I’ve been so up and down. I had no idea why I felt like this until I stopped taking it for a week and a half, then started back, and all my symptoms came back. It’s taken a toll on my kids, my marriage, and myself, as I kept thinking I wasn’t worthy of being a wife, mom, and I just didn’t want to be here! I’m so glad I figured out it was the birth control making me feel this way because I have been on a downhill spiral!!"

For Birth Control "I was taking Gildess Fe 1/20 birth control, and my pharmacist changed it since it was on recall and switched me over to Blisovi Fe 1/20. It mucked everything up. I'm not too happy, but I can't do much about it. I haven't gotten my period so far. I have breast tenderness, I have horrible headaches, and I usually never break out, and so far I have since I switched my BC. No bueno, smh."

For Birth Control "I have been on this pill for a month and a half after my pharmacy gave it to me. I called to say you gave me the wrong pill (Junel Fe 24 is what I was on), and they said the manufacturer changed, but this is the SAME birth control. It's manufactured in India. In a month and a half, I have gained 7-8 pounds. I am very athletic, I eat a plant-based diet, I work out, I sit as a job, but that hasn't made me gain weight like this. I am annoyed. I worked for 9 months to lose 30 pounds, now I am gaining weight for no reason, crying all the time for no reason, self-doubting myself and my poor boyfriend's love for me, AND BREAKING OUT, which is why I got on birth control in the first place."

For Birth Control "I love this birth control! I’ve been taking it for over 2 years now! I also deal with depression and anxiety, but this medication has done nothing to enhance it! I have not gained weight with this pill as I have with others in the past! My hair has changed texture completely and is now shinier and better than it has ever been!"

For Birth Control "Was on name brand Loestrin 24 when it came out 10 years ago. Switched over to name brand Minastrin chewables since that was the replacement Loestrin. I had no issues or side effects, get my period every so often, and it would be very light. Switched insurance, and it was $425 for a pack!!! So I called my doctor asking for a generic version and was prescribed Blisovi. The ingredients are identical, but I've been on it a month and a half and have gained 6 pounds. I follow a strict low carb diet and am celiac, so I am able to maintain my weight. Despite what I eat or drink, the weight is piling on, and I have been spotting every other week. I've been on BCP for 10 years, you'd think I'd be pretty consistent."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control Blisovi Fe for about 3 months now, and I definitely saw something different in me. For some reason, I’ve been very sad lately, as I am already on depression medication (Lexapro), and it makes it 10x worse. Blisovi Fe makes me have very thick ovulation, but when it gets time for me to start my period, it doesn’t start until like the 3rd day of taking the brown pills, and it LASTS for 1 day, literally the lightest ever. I mean, it’s good and all, but sometimes it scares me with the way my body slowly reacts to it."

For Birth Control "My daughter was put on BC to regulate heavy periods and was also switched by the pharmacy to this medicine. She has been having headaches, breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and sudden outbreaks of acne! I decided to look up reviews and possible comparables and found this site. Thank you all for posting, as I will be calling the DR. to switch! Be sure to let the pharmacist know when picking up meds, they shouldn't just blindly switch prescriptions without previously letting patients know beforehand so that we may make an informed decision on what medicines we take!"

For Birth Control "I was prescribed Blisovi 24 Fe after my insurance decided not to cover Minastrin 24 Fe. I have taken Blisovi for about 8 days now, and I have had terrible side effects. My breasts and nipples are in extreme pain all day, bad headaches, and today I fainted. Earlier today, I was speaking to a peer, and all of a sudden, I broke out into an entire body sweat, got extremely lightheaded, and extremely nauseous. My blood pressure was taken immediately after my fainting spell, and it read 85/60. I'm typically anywhere from 110-115/75-80. I will no longer be taking this medication due to the side effects. I told myself I would try it for a month, but after the fainting spell today, I will no longer be taking Blisovi 24 Fe."

For Birth Control "I never leave comments, but this I need to with Blisovi 24 Fe. I’ve been on this for a month, and I have to stop it. This is the only birth control I’ve ever been on, and quite frankly, I never want to take it again. I took it for heavy bleeding, and it made my period last for 2 weeks with still constant spotting. Five-pound weight gain, constantly bloated like every day. It has made me beyond emotional and anxious too. I’ve been crying over the silliest things, and I don’t feel like myself at all. I will never take this again."

For Birth Control "I don't normally comment, and I'm only here to see if any reviews talked about getting pregnant after stopping Blisovi (I plan to stop taking it soon to start trying for a pregnancy). However, I wanted to share my experience because it's been much more positive than the other reviews. I switched to Blisovi after taking the Depo-Provera shot for about 5 years. While on the shot, I was often depressed/anxious and had moderate acne. Once I switched to Blisovi, my anxiety and depression decreased, and my face has not been this clear since before puberty (even my acne scars are healing!). I don't take the sugar pill, so I have not had a period while on it (except after my COVID shot, which was weird). My weight has been consistent, and I have not noticed any other symptoms. I take the pill about the same time every day, plus it minus an hour or two. I haven't noticed any problems if I take it a bit later than usual. I've been on it for about 2 years now. It works for me and my body."

For Birth Control "I have been on this birth control for 2 years, and I am so glad I saw these reviews. I’ve suffered with unprompted anxiety, but I always thought it was normal. I have gained weight, my acne around PMS is absolutely horrible, my back hurts, and the nausea is so hard to manage. I will never be taking this pill again. Please listen to the reviews and know you aren’t going crazy!!!"

Been off the pill a week and lost 5 pounds and finally feel normal again. I am mad it took me 6 months to realize this pill was causing so many problems."

For Birth Control "I had been on Gildess Fe 1/20 for about 2 and a half years until its recent recall. Like many others on this feed, the pharmacy automatically switched me to Blisovi FE. This pill has ruined my body. I haven't had this much acne on my face since I was a teenager, and I have gained so much weight in my stomach. I usually work out vigorously 4-6 days a week and seldom eat junk food or fast food, but with the way my body looks, I might as well be sitting on the couch from morning to night eating nothing but pizza and cheeseburgers. I guess this pill prevents pregnancy because no one wants to have sex with a whale. I will be starting Apri after I'm done with this pill pack...the next week cannot come soon enough."

For Birth Control "I only found myself on this website after not having a period for 4 months to see if anyone else had anything to say about that. I do have to take pregnancy tests to be safe, but this stuff is really good. The only side effects of taking it for me are sore breasts and occasional nausea, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I don't intentionally skip a period, so if this worries you, I would stay away from this birth control."

For Birth Control "AWFUL. I NEVER EVER post reviews but felt compelled to write about my experience. I’m 5’5” and have weighed 120 lbs the past 20 yrs. I never dieted or was a health nut about food whatsoever. I typically ate what I wanted to in moderation. After changing to Blisovi, I put on 8 lbs in 6 mos and just could not shed the lbs. Clothes that I have worn for 20 yrs no longer fit; my body shape has really expanded in the waist & thighs. My insurance had stopped sending me Junel 24 and substituted this brand. I didn’t think a lot about it at the time as they say the formulation is the same. Finally, a month ago, I connected the dots and am switching back to Junel 24 FE. I’m hoping my body reverts back to what it used to look like soon. Birth controls affect people differently, but avoid this altogether or have a heightened awareness as to side effects if you start taking it. It’s interesting to read other comments about “brain fog” as well as that has also been a problem for me the last several months."

She has stomach cramps and has had panic attacks. So happy I found this website. Taking her off of it immediately!"

For Birth Control "Been on BC since I was 16 because of ovarian cysts. Never had problems with BC. For 10+ years, enjoyed the controlled, predictable periods, and of course zero problems with cysts, and that was that. I loved being on BC (Junel, Microgestin). Took Blisovi for a few months, got two periods a month. Full-blown bleeding every other week. Stuck it out for a few months, tried to let my body adjust, finally stopped for 6 months to let my period normalize. Recently started Blisovi back up because of ovarian inflammation until I can get back to the doctor to change BC. Two weeks on it and the problems have started again already. Constant spotting. Extreme lethargy. Irritability. Anxiety. Possible hives reaction connection. Inflammation during ovulation."

For Birth Control "Started in Jan. At first, I loved it. Short, predictable period, and my breasts got bigger. Developed severe nausea and started gaining weight. Took a pregnancy test because that was the only logical explanation, right? I wasn't pregnant, so I decreased my daily calories even more, increased my workouts, and still kept gaining weight. I also had trouble staying asleep through the night. And now, really dry patches on my face. I hate that I have to stop because I loved the short periods and the $0 copay, but the side effects are too much to handle."

For Birth Control "I've been taking it for about 2 months now. The first month was terrible only because of my body adjusting to the new hormone levels. I had breakthrough bleeding for two weeks, my breasts were so sore the entire month, and I had cramps/back pains almost every day. My period was a breeze, though. No cramps, no breast pain, very light flow, and no acne! My second month has been amazing. It's helped control mood swings and the sense of anxiety and depression I get when serotonin levels drop around my period. The only thing I have to complain about is the sense of bloating I have. It goes away, though, when I avoid all of the salty foods and processed sugars I crave. Other than that, I really enjoy this product. Everyone's bodies are different."

For Birth Control "Like most people on this thread, I've gained weight and thought it was from the holidays and vacations. I've been dieting and working out, and the scale has only gone up. I had to switch to this brand because my other one was discontinued. It's not the same! The pharmacy told me it is... it's not. I'm just realizing this now! Calling my doctor on Monday to get off this horribleness! I really gave this brand a shot. It's been three months, and my clothes don't fit me. I'm so upset!"
