User Reviews for Mono-Linyah oral

I am on my second month of this product and it is helping with the birthcontrol portion and keeping my period regular, but my breasts continue to stay sore and sensitive along with my acne is actually getting worse. I have also found myself gaining weight and I have had body image issues in the past that had pushed me to the brink of anorexia, I just feel like I'm constantly gross.

This medication works for acne,birth control etc and I didn’t have any weight gain but... I get migraines about 4-5 times a week . They’re horrible... that’s my only complaint

I asked my Gyno to switch my birth control because I cried a lot on my last product. He put me on Mono-Linyah. I have been taking this birth control for 7 months. It took about a month to clear up my face and it continued my periods at the correct time every month, down to the hour; however, my emotions are all over the place, and I feel 10 times more stressed almost to the point of depression. I also donâ??t sleep through the night, but Iâ??m not sure if this medicine has anything to do with it. Mono-Linyah does do itâ??s job from keeping me pregnant and on track every month but the side effects are not worth it for me. Read More Read Less

The medication is effective and has not caused any weight gain. It has made my periods so much better and has helped my acne however after being on it for 4 months I have started having sudden extreme depression and anxiety. I have had days in which I will cry for no reason and have up to 4 spells of this a day. I have been very anxious and just on edge. I have had panic attacks also. I never had these problems before this medication. I have also had reoccurring nausea over the 4 months of taking this medicine and I have had frequent urination, pelvic pain and dark urine which are all side effects as well. I have just stopped taking the medication the side effects were just way to much to try to tolerate. Hopefully this helps when you are choosing a birth control medication! There are so many to chose from so hopefully my doctor and I can find one with less serious side effects. Read More Read Less

I started taking this after I had a baby, and I breastfeed. It didnâ??t affect my supply which is great but the nausea is so bad that I can barely stand up. Itâ??s everyday-all day nausea, until the 4 week when Iâ??m not actually taking the mono-linyah. Iâ??ve also noticed that Iâ??m extremely irritable and easily angered while taking this pill. Although it does itâ??s job, the side effects are not worth it.

I'm not pregnant so it works! But it does have an enormous amount of side effects that has taken me almost a year to figure out. At first my periods became longer and harder with horrible cramps. I did not gain weight but my breasts were constantly sensitive. My periods have mellowed but not my mood. I have been way more emotional than I ever have been. Increased anxiety and nauseous for long periods of time off and on. Overall, it works but it will change your body somehow.

This pill has changed my overall mood drastically, of course everyone reacts differently but this has been some of the worst few months ever. Every month has been different but i have either been worried 24/7, depressed or even crying everyday of the month! luckily i am switching pills

I freaking hate it. Less than a month and I want to vomit my guts everywhere. My doctor didn't even ask before switching me over to help my irregular cycle.

I have been on it for going on 3 years now. It my hormones have adjusted well. My acne is moderately better. Granted I gained 10lbs but to be honest I needed it. So overall I am satisfied.

This birth control pill is effective as far as doing its job, but the side effects are not worth it for me. I have gained at least 10 lbs since starting it almost 3 months ago. I'm bloated all the time and it makes me tired, agitated, I've gotten more headache as nausea. Will be getting off of this pill asap.

i ended up with all the side affects

I have been on this specific birth control for over three years now. Nearing four years. This is the third type of birth control pill that I have taken and each wind up taking this turn to where I am completely miserable taking them. Yes, I have not gotten pregnant. Yes, I have shorter/lighter periods. However, this is the only medication that I take daily and it makes me have brain fog, my anxiety is through the roof, I work out 5 days per week and eat fairly well and I cannot lose weight. My sex drive is much lower while on the pill than when I am off. I realize it is meant to regulate hormones and it has done well with birth control and periods I just feel that I need to come off of it instead of continuously pouring synthetic hormones into my body daily. I have looked into "natural birth control" and I will continue to look into other forms rather than this pill. My husband and I are not ready for children so we take the necessary precautions to prevent them until we are ready. I just do not know if the side effects that I have with this pill, and the other three I have tried, are worth my mental/physical health.Read More Read Less

I was switched to this BC and I'm not sure why but it has been an awful experience. I started in the first 3 months with the neaseau and thought well it's just the transition period. I ignored the anxiety attacks saying I was just stressed. I decided I was doing better since the anxiety attacks had slowed but then the depression set in and I found myself disappointed because I had failed to cut myself at work on broken glass from a broken frame we had revived. Needles to say I'm getting off of this BC. On top of all of this periods are becoming more painful again which is why I started BC to begin with. I'm far from pleased. Read More Read Less

I woke up depressed most mornings, but felt better by mid morning. My usual nervousness with the pill was better with this one. I had severe facial flushing and sweating for a month and a half, however, so had to stop taking it. The flushing was so bad that it would last for 7 to 10 hours a day from lunch to evening.

I'm only in the middle of my 2nd pack on this birth control and I am in agony. My body is super sensitive to adjusting horomanally but my ankles, feet and legs are super swollen and painful. My abdomen is just as swollen but no pain. My acne has gotten worse and the nausea has been constant. But my period came right on schedule so I guess it does it's job.

I started taking this almost 4 months ago. The first three months of naseousness was terrible. I felt it all day long but never threw up. I'm feeling much better but I do feel bloated. Didn't help much with acne.

This stuff made me severely depressed. I was having serious suicidal thoughts until I went off of it. Plus the more common moodiness, clingyness, and irritability. I've been off of it a week and now I have no appetite. I've probably had 300-500 cals a day all week. If you have a history of bad reactions with BC I would avoid this one!

I have been on this medication since January. I'm 37 years old and newly single. I stopped taking the pill in February (mid-cycle) and ended up in the ER with severe blood loss. It's been almost 6 months and my blood counts are still not back to normal. I began having weird symptoms that I didn't realize were side-effects to this drug (muscle aches, palpitations, dryness, vaginal odor, vaginal itching, nausea, etc.) It wasn't until I began having migraines with aura that my doctor told me to stop it immediately. I had to be tested for blood clots. All was fine. But we believe all of the weird symptoms were side effects of this drug. I've never had side effects with any drugs before. I would NOT recommend this BC to any woman over 30. I'm not even sure why my doctor prescribed it for me. I'm still having residual headaches, but overall feel so much better in just the few days that I've been off of it. Read More Read Less

Wow I guess this BC doesn't work for some people as well as it has worked for me. Was on Sprintec for 1 yr, now I've been on mono linyah for almost 2 years. I'm 22, no children. I love this stuff. No acne, no mood swings, no nausea, highly regulated periods. Comes at the same time every month and they are always light and short for me (4 days). No spotting or breakthrough bleeding. Super effective as long as you take it same time every day (I take mine at 7:30 am so I don't have to worry about it the rest of the day). No copay at pharmacy for me. The pills are also so tiny that you don't really need water to swallow them, they easily go down without it. The only downside is that it would be hard to find if you dropped one (I never have though and I'm half asleep when I take them). It seems like most of these negative reviews are from the first month of taking it- I honestly can't remember my first month on mono linyah because it was 2 years ago but maybe it eventually evens out because I have 0 complaints. I liked Sprintec fine and before that I was on Beyaz for a year, which I hated. I guess every body reacts differently. I love mono linyah, unless something dramatic happens I will continue to use it until I want to have children.Read More Read Less

I've been on mono-linyah for 2 months now and Since about almost a month ago I've been on my period since with a heavy flow. A whole month of a period plus some upset stomach for most of it.
