Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
premenstrual syndrome
"I went on Orsythia to try co control my relatively severe PMDD. I'd read that it gave people nausea, which was par for the course of most birth controls, but this was extreme. I couldn't eat anything except for maybe one small meal a day in the morning and a protein shake before I went to bed. As someone with a history of disordered eating, this was scary to me. Then, I had a pretty extreme jump in my anxiety levels, like to the point that I was having at least one panic attack a day. I finally got off of it and within days people said I was back to acting like myself instead of an anxious zombie. Do not recommend."
