"Took this pill for one week. I was so nauseated, dizzy, and had a headache I couldn't get out of the house or even look at food. I have been on several other pills before and none have affected me this badly"

"This is my first time taking birth control and I was a bit scared because looking at the reviews for mononessa, a lot of people said it caused them unpleasing side effects. My doctor originally prescribed me something else it's like "Tri-Ortho" something like that and the pharmacist gave me the generic version Mononessa. I have been on it for 7 whole days and the only side effect I have is on the first day I felt a tad bit nauseous but that is all. No major mood swings, headaches, or vomiting like I've seen a lot of people write but everyone is different. My experience has been good so far. Hopefully it will stay like this. I am prone to feeling side effects to medication and I am honestly surprised I didn't get any severe ones... yet."

"I have been on Mononessa for about 18 months...I have put on 20 pounds. I have tried to lose the weight while on the meds but I lost 10 pounds and plateaued. I am so done. I just turned 40 and have decided to go with a no hormone permanent solution!"
