Was fine for the first two months...a little spotting/some breakthrough bleeding, but nothing really awful. About three months in, I began experiencing terrible anxiety with such terrible panic attacks that I was pretty incapacitated as a mother (my poor little kids). My periods began starting the week before they "actually" started...you could call it "breakthrough" bleeding, but it was really a full-on bleed with lots of clotting, back pain, and cramps so bad I felt like I was having contractions. Most recently has been the nausea, I've actually lost weight because I've hardly been able to eat for weeks (thought it might be morning sickness---yikes!--but luckily my fun 2.5 week period began, painfully, yesterday so I'm in the clear). I didn't realize these things were all related to Desogen until I reread the package...it's pretty clear that the pills are the reason. I'll be switching pills next month at my annual appt.

I've been on Desogen for 9 months. Since then I've had so much stress and anxiety. I thought this was due to a major life change, but after reading this I'm sure it's from the Desogen. There's days I won't even get out of bed, and when I'll cry and scream over nothing. Yesterday I quit my job and drove home over 100 mph and ran almost every red light just because my boyfriend was going to the bar (for the first time in months) and I didn't want to be left home alone. I've also had terrible headaches, nausea, constipation, and gas. As soon as I finish this pack, I'm done for good.

I have been on Desogen for about 2 months. Horrible nausea, cramps, and mood swings. I lost 6 pounds on the first month. I had terrible headaches. I started having breakout down the sides of my face and forehead. I wouldn't recommend this but to each is own.
