My gyn prescribed this because of my irregular period and acne.
I took this on the second day of my period. Everything was going ok, except for the nausea. Then after 4 days, I developed acid reflux (which I never had before), bloating, lightheadedness, high blood pressure and horrible anxiety and panic attacks. I couldn't eat anything without feeling the bile rise to my throat. Then with all that was happening to me, my anxiety and fear worsened that I made my parents stay with me until I got better. I kept on feeling my heart beating so fast that I almost felt like passing out.
So after one week, I thought it was the pill affecting me instead of a bad stomach virus. Only after two days of getting off the pill, I feel much better. I do not have the bile rising to my throat, but I do burp a bit and can eat. I still feel a little anxious, but am doing much better. I think I would rather keep my irregular periods and facial acne after my bad experience with this pill. I was ok two years ago when I was on other birth control, so now I am reconsidering ever taking any BC again.

I have been taking femcon fe for about a month. A week before i was supposed to start taking my brown inactive pills, i passed out and had what they call convulsive syncope. I had an EEG and MRI done to rule out a seizure. Both came back normal. I have experienced anxiety,passing out, muscle twitching, nausea, headaches, a bad taste in my mouth, low sex drive, dizziness, stomach pains, fear and fatigue. I did not have any of these side effects before I started taking Femcon FE. I am going to continue taking another month of this pill to see if the side effects are still there. I just wanted to let everyone know what i have experienced in case someone else has had the same thing happen to them.

I am on Femcon right now and today is my fist day of my brown pills. I have been nauseous for the past three weeks consistently. The hot flashes during the night started a few days ago and culminated in sleepless night filled with waves of emotional surges such as fear, sadness, and of course anxiety. My mouth has been dry for the past couple weeks. I have not gained or lost any weight, but I am also quite careful of what I eat. I have been spotting for the entire month. I would say my energy levels have also decreased and I have been more irritable in general. I will no longer taking Femcon and feel that I have been given a medication that caused my moderate to great difficultly. I am almost tempted to head up a class action law suit, as I have lost sleep, missed work, and struggled with too many issues to just forget about this. If anyone else is interested, please keep posting. I read the Femcon website and I do NOT see any of these side effect listed anywhere. Did I miss something?

I have noticed that I will get 1-3 zits around my mouth (hormone induced)right at period time on this medication - without fail; this isn't helped by the fact that I have my period 2x per month like clockwork on this pill. My period starts on the Monday of Week 2 and the Monday of Week 4. Never fails. Those have been my only 2 symptoms, but its not working for me. Loved Depo but have taken off weight and fear putting it back on.
Called my gyno today to switch pills.

I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...
