"I recently switched my birth control from estrogen to the mini pill, which contains no estrogen but hormone progestin or 'POPs.' My doc said it was because of my age and smoking. I'll be 35 in May, by the way. Within 2 weeks of taking these POPs, I started experiencing complete numbness in my arms, hands, and lower down there, it was horrible. I couldn't sleep for about four days, and not sure about my insurance, I didn't go to any urgent care or any place. So I stopped the pill and I feel fine. I'm just wondering if there is anyone else out there that had any kind of experience like mine, if so, I would love to hear about it. Thank you, Kbeth."

"Anyone break out in a horrible unexplained hive rash for months due to deblitane? I have been suffering and am now able to maybe pinpoint the problem to this pill. I don't get a period which I'm glad about. I also gained a lot of weight from this medication. Anyone with a similar story?"

"I’ve been on this pill for 10 months now. I would not recommend it. Although it has prevented pregnancy with unprotected sex I spot in between every period and it gives me anxiety. My cycle is now anywhere from 22-28 days and I still have a 5-day period. I have more headaches than usual and feel more bloated than usual. I can’t tell if I have more anxiety because I’m constantly thinking I’m pregnant or if the pill is causing more anxiety. I can’t be on the combination pill because of a past blood clot so I’m running out of options but I would not recommend this pill if irregular periods and spotting worry you."

"I'm new to taking birth control. Had a very normal cycle before, regular as clockwork for 27 years. I decided on this pill BC its a "mini" & thought maybe a good way to ease in to BC . 5 weeks into taking Deblitane I noticed my breasts were always sore and full. My skin was more oily & I've gotten the worst case of breakouts (big, red pimples on my cheek and a series of breakouts along my jawline). I haven't had a period. However leading up to when my period is usually due (I tracked my cycles for years) I started having cramps feeling bloated & lasted for a few days (almost a week). My mood was fine. Sex drive has been low. Finally called my doc and switching off it to something with out hormones mainly to fight this bad case of acne."

"I have been on this Birthcontrol for a year and here these past few months my periods have been always been really heavy and migraines are bad... but now my periods have all of a sudden gotten really light and now this month I haven’t gotten a period... really weird. I noticed I’ve been spotting a lot past couple months after I’ve had my period. It’s weird how I’m having problems after a year of taking Deblitane."

"I've been on this BC since I was 12, so about 8 years now. Everything started out great, I did have a period for about 3 months straight when I started... However, my periods were lighter and frequent, I didn't have any weight gain, and my acne went away. I'd honestly recommend it anyone back then. Now things are going in the opposite direction. My periods are all over the place, every 7 to 45 days, and range from extremely heavy to spotting, my acne is back and worse than ever, and (could not be related but my doctor said it could be) I have been suffering from 'functional' cysts on my ovaries for the past 6 months. I will 100% be stopping this BC my next cycle."

"Honestly it works, I haven't had any noticeable side effects other than I had my period 3 times in a month for two months, 2 times for the month after that, and now I haven't had a period at all this month so I don't know what's going on."

"I was normally on Mylan's generic version of the Mini Pill and was pretty happy with it. But soon the company that supplied me with the mini pill (Pandia) changed it up and sent me Deblitane. Ever since I have been on this one I been spotting EVERY freaking day. I have to wear a pad so I don't ruin my underwear. It's been making my life miserable. I had to contact Pandia to tell them to stop sending me the name brand and to please switch back to generic. Sadly I have 3 months to go through this until the switch back."

"Well I see why there's only negative reviews here and I now have another one. I'm only on day 3 and I already cried I don't even know how many times today. It's making me so emotional."

"HORRIBLE experience!!!! I’ve been on it 10 days and the side effects are so bad that I have to stop immediately (my gyno agrees). On day 2 I started having bad headaches off and on daily. Then developed brain fog, huge mood swings with anger flares and depression, exhaustion/fatigue… and today crying fits that now just won’t stop. I’ve never been unknowingly drugged, but I imagine this is what it would feel like – totally out of control of your body and emotions and so unlike yourself that there is no solid ground. I can’t believe how awful I feel and how quickly I’ve tanked. I wish I could report someone for making this drug, I feel like someone else completely, and people that know me well agree I am markedly 100% not myself at all. trying not to interact with people so that I don’t say or do anything that I regret, and praying that my body goes back to normal soon. I’m an inch away from calling the crisis team"
