"After years of being on this birth control I just finally figured out that it’s what’s been making me sick all this time! This pill gives me debilitating nausea and vomiting for the first couple weeks of my pack every month. This pill has major side effects compared to other birth controls. My girls will be SO sore for a whole week, I’m like an emotional roller coaster and as mentioned before the nausea and vomiting. If you’re looking to switch birth controls or are just looking at this because your insurance changed your brand, run. DO NOT TAKE THIS"

"I'm so glad I decided to Google this medication and found these reviews. I thought I was going NUTS! My hormones are out of control on this medication. Like others, my pharmacy switch me to Estarylla from Sprintec. I was fine on the Sprintec but on this stuff - I've had HORRIBLE mood swings, my acne is out of control, spotting, nausea, weight gain, headaches. I thought I was pregnant! I'll be switching as soon as I can."

"I have been on Estarylla for about a year and a few months now and I'm about to stop taking it now because it's simply too much for my mental health. The pill works wonderfully at preventing pregnancy and it cleared my acne, my breasts grew, and I did not gain weight. However, during my cycle on the pill, I get so anxious and depressed. It feels as if I have no energy or sex drive. Things that usually make me happy, I feel numb to. But, when I'm on placebo week - wow, I feel amazing. I feel free. Obviously, everyone is different but personally, I feel horrible (mentally) while I'm on it."

"Estarylla is the first brand of birth control I tried and I'm finally changing my bc pills nows. I hate the way these pills made me feel. At first I didn't realize what's going on with me, I was thinking I'm going crazy in my own head. Severe mood swings, I felt depressed all the time. My anxiety got WAYY worse. I'm finally getting off these pills. Good part is my period got regular and my cramps are not as bad but I can't do Estarylla anymore. I do not recommend this brand to any girl, If you want to stay happy and enjoy your life."

"First birth control I have ever tried and I love it so far. I've been on it for a few months. I noticed on here it has a lot of negative reviews, like people say everyone's body is different. Just as insight I'm 19 years old and around 155 pounds. This birth control did not make me gain or lose weight. I noticed I haven't gotten as much acne since I started. My skin is almost completely clear. The only negative side effect that I really noticed and that my bf noticed as well is that I've gotten more irritable and emotional around the days I'm about to get my period, something that didn't happen to me before. Honestly this isn't a terrible side effect for me personally it's extremely bearable. I would definitely recommend this pill"

"I have only been using Estarylla for a month now & within this month it has been the WORST! It has dried my skin especially my hands and around my mouth, I have been spotting this whole time, & it has caused BAD mood swings. I have gone into deep depression, had really dark thoughts, my attitude has been horrible especially my emotions I’ll cry after having a moment of dark thoughts & it’s just a cycle. I have lost my appetite. The medicine have given me a yeast infection as well. Everybody body is different but I do not recommend this medication."

"Definitely a horrible birth control. Started it 2 months ago and I have put on weight, irregular spotting in between periods. Most of all my mood swings have been so bad. Makes me feel bi polar. I cry over everything and get so mad. Even feel depressed. Was on tri-previfem for years and didn’t have any side effects. Switching back next week. Pharmacists claim they’re all same ingredients included but I disagree."

"I was on Mononessa for almost three years and was switched to this pill. I enjoy it ! I didn’t have any side effects and my period isn’t as long and heavy as it was on Mononessa. I had a little dry patch of skin on my face I normally never get. Not sure if it’s from the pill or just the cold weather but I exfoliated and moisturized and it’s gone. My skin did not break out, I didn’t gain weight and I feel fine. It’s always worth a shot to try it because everyone’s body is different."

"I'm at the Dr now to refill this birth control medication and I couldn't remember the name so I called my pharmacy and then googled it since I was waiting. I can't believe the bad reviews, but everyone's body is different. I've been on this BC for 2 years now, starting my third. I used to break out and I haven't had one pimple since starting this medication. I haven't gained any weight or experienced any type of emotional side effects. I love it and will continued using it."

" I already struggle with depression/anxiety but this birth control made it SO much worse. I couldn’t figure out for the longest time what was wrong with me, so so angry and everyone but yet so sad. I have been feeling like I’m going crazy. So done with this medicine. Never again!!"

"I’ve been on this pill for about a year now. I stopped taking it for awhile and noticed that my mood had lifted and I was overall a happier person. I do think that all birth control pills can make you feel sad and depressed but I think that Estarylla really amplified those feelings. I didn’t find it to clear up my acne and I did gain weight. I would say this pill is average but I’m hoping to find something better."

"Wow these reviews are scary. I’ve been taking this birth control for about 6-7 months and it never affected me that bad. I will admit the first few months you feel a little dull but that’s just because of new hormones in your body. Hair never fell out or anything instead it grew crazy long at least 7 inches. It never affected me in a negative way or made me gain weight, it actually made me lose a few 3 pounds and if anything made me more mature . At the end of the day birth control no matter what brand affects everybody in way different ways but for me this didn’t affect me terribly or anything if anything I was doing amazing on it ."

"I had a negative experience with this pill. I took it for a year, and while it effectively served the purpose of preventing pregnancy, that's the only positive thing I have to say about it. I experienced side effects of depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety and a panic attack, frequent breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, and weight gain of 10 pounds. I am not prone to weight gain and haven't had this issue or emotional issues with the other 2 birth control pills I've taken. I would advise extreme caution in proceeding with taking this pill. I should have read the reviews before I took it."

"I was prescribed Estarylla and it was my first experience with birth control! The first two months were fine. I had a short and lighter period the first month BUT experienced insane emotional distress. I was yelling at my boyfriend, crying over just about anything (I even cried giving a class presentation and I’m not emotional like that AT ALL) I assumed it was just my body adjusting as those extreme mood swings subsided. At the end of the second month I got my period early and decided to finish the pack. I’ve now been bleeding for almost 2 weeks and it is giving me extreme anxiety. I’m constantly paranoid I’m going to get blood clots and that this bleeding is irregular. It goes between what I believe to be spotting to full on needing a tampon. After reading these reviews I have now decided to stop taking this birth control. I gave it two points because I do believe it contributed to clearing up my skin. Please beware!"

"I started taking Estarylla about a month ago and I had been taking birth control for almost 6 months now but my brand got change I was taking Femynor with no problems at all but about a month ago I experienced every bad bloating, stomach pains, constipation, nausea and lose of appetite. When my period came the symptoms didn’t change. Now on my second month the symptoms are starting to ease. I’m still taking it. And I read about the side affects on the box and nothing I’m experiencing is on the box but reading all these reviews I should talk to my doctor about changing my brand"

"I started this birth control Estarylla after I got my IUD out. I hated the IUD so after 2 years I got it removed. I wanted a birth control that helped with acne because I have PCOS and with that comes stupid hormonal acne :( I am on month 3 of Estarylla and I think I’m starting to hate it. First 2 months were good, it actually helped my acne. Now, on my 2nd week of the pack my chin broke out so bad! My boobs are sore and I’m super depressed. I don’t take any other meds so I know it has to be this birth control. I also get nauseous. Honestly I think the side effects outweigh the benefits!! Everyone’s different but for myself I do not recommend this med."

"I've been on it for 3 years with 0 side effects. It's effective in that I've never become pregnant. I haven't experienced mood swings like everyone else posted about. I never get breakouts. The only reason I've gained 10 lbs in the last 3 years is from crossfit and it was muscle. I have absolutely no complaints with Estarylla."

"I started this pill exactly 1 month ago and I absolutely love it. I've been on birth contol twice before and Estarylla is definitely my favorite one. The only side effect I’ve had is being emotional towards boyfriend & friends, nothing extreme. I haven’t noticed any weight gain or loss. I see everyone is having different reactions to this pill but it totally works for me!"

"I have been on this pill for about 8 months now, and I go on here and read these reviews and wonder where people are getting this from. I understand everyone's body is different, and reacts differently to different pills. For me, this pill cleared almost all my acne, I haven't gained weight, my super painful cramps have almost vanished, my flow isn't as heavy, the only real bad side effect I have noticed is the mood swings, but even those are not that bad. It's a great pill."

"This medication does prevent pregnancy for me. It cleared my acne and made my periods lighter. However, it gave me mood swings, extremely sore nipples, high irritability, loss of sex drive and decreased my appetite. I've been miserable. I don't get cramps during my period but now during ovulation I get slight cramps. Every month I swear I'm pregnant because of the side effects but I get my period. I'm almost done with month 4 and I'm thinking of stopping."

"HORRIBLE! If you are use to taking ortho tri cycline lo, this is not a substitute! I've had crazy mood swings, depression, Fatigue, bleeding, nausea day and waking me up at night, and to make it worse I've am broken out worse than I have been in years. Almost worse than I had in middle school and I'm 31. Stay away!"

"I am about halfway through my first pill pack and I am having pretty good success so far. This is my first time taking birth control but so far there have been no side effects and no real changes. Reading the reviews here had me worried but so far for me everything seems to be fine. I guess I'll have to report back in a few months."

"I was originally on Sprintec then switched to Estarylla so I didn’t have to pay every month for birth control. I experienced weight gain at first, but once my body got used to the hormones my weight dropped down back to normal (but my boobs did get bigger so that’s a plus). I was so shocked to read all the negative reviews. I haven’t really ever had any problems on this birth control, no pregnancy scares, and my period is extremely regular. The only thing that’s annoying is that my period continues for an extra 3 days and it’s just really light spotting, but that also happened before I started birth control. My periods were extremely heavy, I’m talking bleeding through an ultra tampon after 3 hours, and now it is so much better. I do still have cramps, but they are so much better than they were prior to birth control."
