Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"It was effective in that I didn't get pregnant however it gave me a slew of unwanted side effects. My doctor put my on this as it was a very "low hormone" drug but it isn't for me. I've given it 4 months and during that time I've experienced: lower mood/ mood swings, low sex drive and vaginal dryness (very unwanted obviously), very sore and tender breasts (first month/ than increase in size), weight gain- solid 15lbs, water retention... after reading all the negative reviews that are similar to mine I've cemented the fact that I'll stop this pill as of today. Hoping things get better!"
