Balziva side effects

i've been on this med (28) for 4 months and have: gained 15lbs, severe cramping, mood swings, depression, loss of sexual interest, heavy bleeding, when i am on my period, bladder infections(when never before), my breast grew with the 1st month of use and the pain then was so unbearable that even now they are sometimes so tender for a whole week before my period starts that it hurts to shower! i say this pill is somewhat effective because i was bleeding months on end and so far this pill has somewhat helped; however, when i am on my period, the first 2 days are really heavy and recently i seem to be starting my period before i am done using the pink pills. . . i don't want to be bleeding abnormally, but i can not afford to be gaining more weight or feeling depressed all the time. . .

I started on Balziva a little over a year ago and also found myself moody, easily angered, etc. I couldn't stop crying for over a month and was diagnosed with depression and had to start taking Sertraline for that. I also had a hard time with my period. Every other month I would having spotting the week before I started, bad cramps, bad bloating and would never start at the same time. I also had two months where I had a period that started 4 days early and then went into my regular period schedule. Two months ago the pharmacy just happened to give me Zenchent and things just happen to be working much better (at least for now). I made myself go off of the depressant a couple weeks before they changed my pill and my mood and periods - so far so much better.

Recently i got switched from Apri (generic for Yasmin) to Balziva. My new gyno said it would be more effective with the other medications (Lamictal and Zoloft) and would help with pms symptoms. For the past few months that I've been on Balziva I've been very depressed and moody. I have two periods a month, which are very painful, breast pains, headaches, nausea, insomnia and frequent break outs, i thought all of which were normal with the switch. Then i started researching Balziva and other closely related pills and all the results found to be very similar.. all with side effects of depression. If you have depression or any similar disorder, reconsider when taking this medication, I am thinking of switching myself, it's nice to get this information from other women in the same situation.. because I sure didn't get it from my doctor. Of course I can't pin point this straight to this exact drug, but it all started once i got on Balziva, and after reading so many other womens comments it makes a lot more sense, mostly with why I have been so down. I hope this helps anyone else looking for answers

I've been on Balziva for a month and a half and I'm drowsy, dizzy, and having 2 periods a month. This stuff is really not working well for me.
